The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr. Fatima Eltinay recently visited Derventio Housing Trust in Derby City to see firsthand how supported housing is helping people with complex needs rebuild their lives.
The visit highlighted the importance of safe, stable accommodation — with measures such as CCTV helping to reduce anti-social behaviour and protect vulnerable residents, including those at risk of “cuckooing”.
Around 1 in 5 residents are young people, and many have experienced trauma or homelessness. Programmes like ‘Home for Me’ are supporting those with higher needs into more secure futures.
💬 Discussions also focused on strengthening partnership working and ensuring residents are aware of support available, including victim services.
Funding from the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund has supported additional safety measures, including the installation of mobile CCTV units, helping to reduce crime and improve community safety.

Festival season is a time to enjoy music, friends and great experiences – but it’s important to stay aware of the risks linked to drug dealing and substance misuse. Tackling these issues remains a key priority locally, with a focus on preventing harm and keeping communities safe.
Events like Y Not Festival in Derbyshire are a fantastic part of the county’s summer – and everyone has a role to play in making sure they stay safe and enjoyable for all.
Illegal drugs can be unpredictable, with unknown strength or contents, and can pose serious risks to your health and safety. There is also a risk of exploitation from those involved in dealing.
Key festival safety tips:
🚫 Do not take substances offered – there is no guaranteed safe illegal drug
👥 Stick together with friends and agree a safe meeting point
🧠 Trust your instincts – if something doesn’t feel right, act
🩺 Use medical services if you’re worried about yourself or someone else
🤝 Know where to get support: Getting the right information can help you make safer choices. Talk to Frank offers free, confidential advice about drugs, including a dedicated festival guide with practical tips and what to do in an emergency:

🚨 In an emergency, call 999 immediately.
Looking out for one another helps ensure festivals remain safe, positive experiences for everyone.
