Through this Speak Up! Community Circle, we want to explore what community safety truly means to our local people and authorities. By creating a safe space for open dialogue, we aim to move beyond fear-based discussions to build understanding about the root causes of safety concerns and develop collaborative solutions that work for everyone.
At RJ4All, we believe that power abuse is the biggest silent driver of inequalities, human rights violations and community tensions. We also have evidence to believe that trust in public services is declining and that a new social contract between communities and governments is needed. We know that we can do this by starting locally from our own neighbourhood in South East London.
