The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership (KBSP) is an independent body which holds responsibility for strategic safeguarding across Bristol. We categorise this responsibility between children, adults and communities.
Our primary partners are Bristol City Council, Avon and Somerset Police, and the Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (BNSSG ICB). We also work with other statutory and voluntary sector services.
For the KBSP’s activities relating to the Community Safety Partnership, our statutory partners also include Avon Fire and Rescue Service and the Probation Service.
