Rationale for decision

This Equality Impact Assessment considers the review of our Antisocial Behaviour Strategy 2025 - 2031.



In undertaking the review we aim to ensure that the Strategy is relevant, reflects our current strategic priorities and that there is a common goal for all partners and stakeholders.



The Strategy builds on the significant progress already made by Community Planning Partners in keeping East Ayrshire safe and sets out our key priorities, the framework for partnership-working and our action plan for the next five years to assist us in targeting appropriate resources to provide help and support to communities and individuals who experience antisocial behaviour.



This assessment considers the impact of the strategy on individuals and groups with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
