Safer | Stronger | More Connected
A Higher Standard
for the Places
We Call Home.
Recognising neighbourhoods where communities come together to create safer, stronger and more desirable places to live.
What is Tier One Area?
Tier One Area is an independent neighbourhood certification scheme that recognises taking a proactive approach to safety, community wellbeing and the quality of their surroundings.
It celebrates neighbourhoods where residents, businesses and local organisations work together to make their area a better place to live, now and for the future.

More than a place on a map. A recognised commitment to a better neighbourhood.
Our Three Principles
What Makes a Tier One Area?
Three key elements define a Tier One Area, recognising neighbourhoods that are:
Proactive About Safety
Taking responsibility for
creating safer neighbourhoods.
Communities that invest in preventative measures, visible reassurance and initiatives that contribute towards a safer living environment.
Connected as a Community
Stronger communities are
built together.
Neighbourhoods where residents, businesses and local organisations work collectively to support one another and improve their surroundings.
Pride in Place
Creating places where
anyone would want to live.
Communities that demonstrate care, investment and ambition for the appearance, environment and long-term quality of their neighbourhood.
A Mark of Community Achievement
Tier One Certified Area
The Tier One Certified Area designation provides a recognisable symbol of a neighbourhood’s commitment to safety, community and quality of place.
Once awarded, the designation may be displayed through neighbourhood signage, estate agent windows, property listings and community communications.
