, Member of Parliament for St
Austell and Newquay has led a debate in Parliament on the
Tri-service Safety Officer (TSSO) role and its importance to
communities in Cornwall.
Speaking in his Adjournment Debate on Monday 5 February, Steve
highlighted the trailblazing work being carried out in Cornwall
with the role, which is co-funded by the police, fire service,
and NHS/South West Ambulance Trust, and as such fulfils a variety
of important roles in the communities in which the TSSO’s are
based.
Steve spoke about the great value that the role brings, in terms
of the variety of incidents and support that the TSSO’s are able
to respond to and provide, as well as the need to ensure they are
properly funded.
Speaking after the debate, Steve said:
“The Tri-service Safety Officer role is another example where
Cornwall is leading the way, with an innovative and great value
position that delivers great value for the communities the TSSO’s
serve.”
“I was pleased to be able to highlight the many positives of
the TSSO role in a debate that I led in Parliament, and it was
great to see the Minister recognise their contribution and give
his support to the role.”
“I will continue to do all I can to promote this role and
continue to advocate for its roll out to communities that need
them across Mid-Cornwall.”
