Issue - meetings

The CSP were provided with an update on the work undertaken to respond to the Home Office Gangs and Youth Violence peer review, including progressing the implementation of the recommendations. A task and finish group had been established to lead on this including establishing a shared vision, objectives, performance management framework etc. Creation of an integrated gang unit was also proposed under the integrated offender management model to support a multi-agency team approach as detailed in a bid to MOPAC and which would require the reallocation of a number of staff.

The Board commented on the importance of this piece of work aligning with outcome 2 of the Community Safety Strategy, particularly in relation to having a unified sole vision and outcomes. It was also agreed that the particular issue of young women and gangs needed to be more explicitly covered within the delivery model.

The importance was also emphasised of aligning the Youth Offending Service prevention work into the delivery model to ensure necessary link up.

RESOLVED

·        That the update be noted.
