This amendment concerns section 118, which places certain duties on public service bodies in respect of improving community safety. The amendment simply ensures that public bodies must now include in their strategic plans an assessment of the issues affecting community safety that is relevant to its functions. The body will also be required to include the actions or proposed actions in place to address those issues. The duty will also include a reporting element via the body's annual report.
