Agenda item

This document is restricted and has been circulated to board members separately.

Daniel James led a 6 month review of the current Crime and Disorder Strategic Assessment; the assessment was to look at the and review priority areas, current trends and to ensure that the priority areas are still of correct focus.

It was discussed that this was the first time this data had been pulled together into one document for the CSP board. Lee Walker noted that the London Fire Brigade are pleased with the direction of data and trends however it is clear from ranking across London there is still work to be done which will be continuing to be resourced. Data is showing a reduction in fly tipping and abandoned vehicles.

The item was opened to board members where CVS highlighted the requirement to include the impacts of Brexit on each of the priority areas outlined in the assessment and how we will make progress in light of this. This was agreed by members. The MPS are already working on impacts of Brexit on wider issues.

April Bald noted that a focus for CYP would be around violence and domestic abuse looking at adverse childhood experiences (ACE’s) and identifying approaches to current case loads of young people. With the changing demographics of CYP in borough the CYP subgroup will need to keep an eye on what groups are coming into borough and what the impacts of Brexit may be on this cohort. The chair highlighted that chairs will need to feedback to Dan James on the impacts of Brexit for the respective areas. 

ACTION: Subgroup chairs to report back to Dan James on impacts of Brexit on their subgroup areas.

CVS outlined that the Council should be chairing a Tension Monitoring Meeting to highlight any areas where tension may occur and ensure that plans are in place to address these issues.

Future assessments

Jade Hodgson asked board members to agree what process the board members would like followed with regards to future assessment. Board members agreed that individual workshops should be held with subgroups of the board, then a half day workshop for all areas to come together to agree the outline for the future assessment.

The current areas for future assessment were put forward for consideration;

• Impacts of crimes on residents
• Expand CSE, exploitation and county lines information from Rescue and Response data
• Impacts on workforce (i.e social workers)
• Counter terrorism and extremism, potential to monitor how many cases are put through channel panel
• Shared priorities across the boards

The board questions whether the MPS have a record of who is taken to court in relation to county lines who are from outside of the local area. MPS advised that they do not receive much intel however the YOS will be notified who is attending court from out of borough. It was highlighted that additional work with the council be done to analyse the data that comes into the YOS.

The chair highlighted that CSG are working on plans to ensure that work is not carried out in insolation to ensure the overlaps are covered and agreed by all boards and to avoid duplication. CSG are keen to outline the remit of each board to ensure this work is effective.
