To confirm the Boards Membership and Terms of Reference for 2010/11.

The Board received a report that sought confirmation from Partners of the Safer Communities Executive Board (SCEB) Membership and Terms of Reference for 2010/11.

The Board discussed it’s membership and it was noted that the Community Police Consultative Groups (CPCG) were usually included within the membership of Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRP). Over the previous two years the Director of Haringey CPCG had been a member of the SCEB by virtue of her appointment as HAVCO’s representative.   

There was a general consensus that, given that the CPCG played a key role in fostering public confidence and that improving this was a key priority for the Police, it would be appropriate for the SCEB’s Terms of Reference to be amended to allocate a place to the CPCG.

In addition the following amendments to the Terms of Reference were also agreed:

• The MPA’s status as a statutory partner for CDRPs should be reflected and one observer place should be retained
• The membership of the SCEB Performance Management Group (PMG) should be amended to include the Probation Service
• That reference to the Government Office for London (GOL) as an observer be removed

It was also requested that consideration was given to offering a place on the SCEB PMG to HAVCO and the Chair noted that this would be discussed by the PMG.

RESOLVED:

That, subject to the amendments set out above, the Membership and Terms of Reference for the SCEB be confirmed for 2010/11.
