Issue - meetings

To confirm the minutes of the meeting held on 12 December as a correct record.

RESOLVED

·        That the minutes of the meeting held on 12 December be agreed as an accurate record and signed by the Chair.

Matters arising:

·        A brief verbal update was provided of progress against the Youth Offending Service (YOS) actions arising from discussions at the meeting before last:

o   Location of service: based on current staffing levels, it would not be feasible at the present time to extend the Tottenham satellite service although it was recognised the siting of the main office in Wood Green was not optimal.

o   A mental health practitioner had started in post in February and referral pathways for first time entrants with mental health needs had been determined.

o   An event would be held on 4 April in the Chamber to launch the liaison and divergence scheme.

o   Benchmarking around first time entrants was being undertaken with other authorities to help with the analysis of data for this cohort.  

o   Re-offending rates were showing a positive direction of travel, with a toolkit developed to look at hardcore groups and learning from good practice at other authorities having an impact.

o   The governance arrangements for the YOS Partnership Board were being reviewed.

·        Performance information for the Victim Support Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) project had now been updated and fed into CSP performance monitoring arrangements.

·        A brief updated was provided on how the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) measure performance against the public confidence indicator. Performance against the challenging target of 75% was assessed using the national public attitude survey and crime survey for England and Wales focussed on four key drivers.
