Issue - meetings

The Managing Director of Homes for Haringey, Sean McLaughlin, noted there was an initiative called the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA). This was a national scheme to get housing organisations to a level of accreditation, which was a process Homes for Haringey were currently going through. As part of that process, it was suggested that it would be useful for Homes for Haringey to attend most of the statutory boards, such as the Community Safety Partnership, and it would be useful to have that discussion for future agendas. The AD for Stronger Communities noted that the Homes for Haringey Director for Housing Demand, Denise Gandy, had emailed him regarding this and this matter would be put on the agenda for the next meeting in December (Action: Denise Gandy & Eubert Malcolm).

In response to a question on whether there was a contingency plan for Brexit, the Chair explained that there was a multi-agency meeting a few weeks ago to consider different factors that might be influenced by Brexit. The Chair noted that she envisaged that there would be a lot of central aid. The contingency plan would be similar to what was currently happening, such as officers going onto12 hour shifts, and depending on what was happening in parts of the UK, there may be mutual aid. It was re-iterated that there were certainly plans in place, but it was difficult to know what would happen due to the uncertainty of Brexit.

Joe Benmore, IOM Strategic Lead - Community Safety & Enforcement team, reminded the Partnership that the second episode of The Met: Policing programme would be on BBC1 on 10^th October about the killings in Haringey in 2018. He asked that the Partnership provide feedback on the programme (Action: Partnership).
