Irvine Fullarton (North Ayrshire) - Community Confidence Action Research Event - May 2023

Overview

Community Confidence Action Research – Irvine Fullarton (North Ayrshire) - 25th May 2023

Community Event: 12pm to 2.30pm on Thursday 25th May at Fullarton Community Hub, Irvine KA12 8DF - Programme available here. 

The Scottish Police Authority (SPA) and Police Scotland will be hosting a community policing event to discuss policing matters with the local community and, in partnership, consider ways in which confidence in policing might be improved in Irvine Fullarton.  This event is open to residents, community groups and others who regularly visit Irvine Fullarton.

The event forms part of a piece of research which the SPA and Police Scotland are carrying out in various locations across Scotland.  The wider research project, which runs until 2024, aims to understand more about confidence in policing in areas that experience deprivation in some way, as national research indicates that confidence in the police is lower. This can mean many different things, for instance not having local access to a GP surgery, or having infrequent public transport links, and is not solely about income or employment.

At the event we will discuss the findings from recent surveys in Irvine Fullarton (reports attached below and available here), and it is hoped that through a conversation between the community and the police, a better understanding of issues and potential ways to tackle these can be put into action by the police and local partners.

If you are interested in attending this event, please sign up using this survey.  Spaces will be limited and we therefore require people to sign up by Monday 22nd May 2023. We do require names and contact information. The SPA will hold this personal information (it will not be shared with Police Scotland or any other organisation) - please see the SPA's Privacy Policy.

If you require the report in another format, have any questions, or would like to register via phone or email please contact the Project Team on the details below.
