Cumberland, NSW Living Safely Community Safety Program

Living Safely was designed with NSW Police as a series of workshops. Public health restrictions led council staffers to turn the in-person events into a five-episode podcast series. Listeners learn about common scams, property crimes, and home security in six languages. Cumberland also produced video versions of the workshop for visual learners. This series was shaped by the most commonly reported crimes along with resident concerns raised during safety planning sessions.
