As many of you know, Neighbourhood Watch is now an Association across all of Dyfed-Powys.
This initiative aims to strengthen, support and safeguard the invaluable work of Neighbourhood Watch schemes across the region. 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗟𝗬, Neighbourhood Watch schemes within Dyfed-Powys operated independently, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝙉𝙊 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. To enhance community safety, ensure consistent standards, safeguarding of our members and members of the public, all existing schemes will now automatically become part of the new association - as agreed with OurWatch, under MOU & Constitution. While the association will provide overall structure and support, the day-to-day operations of each scheme will continue to be managed by dedicated volunteer coordinators and deputy coordinators. These individuals play a vital role in fostering community engagement and crime prevention. The new association will prioritise a more people-facing and in-person approach to engage with members across Dyfed-Powys. This includes plans for regular meetings, both in-person and via Zoom, as well as volunteer recognition events, conferences, and other initiatives. By bringing all Neighbourhood Watch schemes under one umbrella, Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch aims to: ✓ 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: Ensure consistent standards and practices across all schemes. ✓ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Provide resources, training, and recognition for dedicated volunteers. ✓ 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Encourage information sharing and collaboration between schemes, ensuring they adhere to guidelines & follow the same goals/initiatives. ✓ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Implement effective strategies to reduce crime and enhance community security. We 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 be adhering to GDPR, CIO guidelines, and our signed MOU as it is essential for us to protect data privacy, mitigate risks, and maintain compliance with relevant regulations. By doing so, they can foster trust with stakeholders and ensure the long-term sustainability of our operations. Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch is committed to ensuring that all Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators are involved and empowered to contribute to the success of the Association. By providing a clear structure and support, the watch hopes to encourage greater participation and engagement from the community. Whilst we know change is daunting for Coordinators & Schemes who have been doing this for a while, community safety, safety of our members and crime prevention comes first. Structure is needed within Dyfed-Powys and our Chair, Vice-Chair and Operational Team want to ensure all schemes are registered, protected by insurance & safe to run.
