The guidance for Local Authorities Community Cohesion Contingency Planning and Tension Monitoring is a part of the government's commitment to provide local areas with the support they need to respond to their own particular cohesion challenges.
The guidance focuses on what councils could do to both prevent and respond to local issues. It seeks to encourage local authorities to be aware of who is living in their area, how they interact and get on. The guidance aims to encourage councils to track and monitor local trends, and be alert to potential tension 'hot spots' and work with a range of people to agree actions to manage tensions.
