Haringey Crime Performance Overview PDF 198 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Partnership received a report and an accompanying presentation which provided an overview of Haringey’s performance against the Mayor’s (MOPAC) Police and Crime Plan key priorities, including personal robbery and violence. The presentation was given by Sandeep Broca, Intelligence Analysis Manager as set out in the agenda pack at pages 21-32. It was noted that during the period March to September there had been a 14% reduction in overall recorded crime in Haringey, since the corresponding period in 2019. The following points were raised in discussion of the report: a. The Partnership sought clarification, in light of the domestic abuse figures, whether there had been any change in the level of homicides related to domestic abuse, given the lockdown and a concern that victims would likely be at greater risk. In response, officers advised that they had not seen any figures to suggest that there had been a particular spike in cases either in London or nationally but would need to look into this further to provide a more comprehensive answer. (Action: Sandeep Broca). b. The Partnership sought clarification around the increase in knife crime offences in the vicinity of Highgate Wood that was highlighted in the presentation. In response, officers set out that this was related to a small cluster of offences taking place between May and July relating to robberies and attempted robberies. It was emphasised that the baseline for this type of offence in that location was low, and therefore the increase highlighted in the slides related to a relatively small number of instances. c. The Chair highlighted that figures for robbery were significantly higher last year and that thanks to the hard work of partners through multi-agency working and the formation of a robbery focus group, figures for this crime type had been brought down sharply. The Chair thanked partners for their involvement in this and cautioned that ongoing work was needed to keep these figures on a downward trajectory.
RESOLVED
I. That the Board noted the content of the Crime Performance Overview report and presentation, which highlighted the changes to crime performance since March 2020. |

Haringey Community Gold update PDF 673 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Partnership received a report which provided a progress update on the Haringey Community Gold Programme and invited comments on the mid-programme review taking place in December 2020. The report was introduced by Eduardo Araujo, Interim Senior Tottenham Community Safety Manager as set out in the agenda pack at pages 101-116. Bradley Goddard, the Director of My Training Plan - one of the Haringey Community Gold delivery partners, was also present for this item. The Partnership were introduced to a case study which demonstrated some of the work being undertaken as part of the Haringey Community Gold programme. The case study related to a Year 10 pupil who was attending the Octagon in Wood Green and had demonstrated anger problems and who could be aggressive. The young person in question was also involved in gangs. In response, a fitness session was organised with a training plan and during the session it became apparent that the young person had problems communicating how he felt and was frustrated with not being able to articulate himself properly, which led to a feeling that his teachers were not listening to him. Over a number of sessions, the trainer was able to listen to the young person and develop a relationship with him to the point of being able to offer advice and steer that young person to a process of self-reflection. Following some personal mentoring, that person was now back in a mainstream school and doing well. The Partnership was advised the key reflection from this case study was the importance of listening to the voice of that young person.
The following arose in discussion of this agenda item:

Recovery & Renewal - Feedback from previous CSP session on 23rd September Verbal update Minutes: The Partnership received a verbal update from Hugh Smith on a recovery and renewal session held by partners on 23rd September, which looked at what the priorities should be for the Council and partners coming out of COVID-19 and how they could work together to deliver services differently. It was noted that one of the key topics was around how partners engaged with residents and communities, as well as how to tackle systemic racial disproportionality and inequalities. In terms of next steps, the Council was launching a consultation platform called commonplace which would allow residents to access the Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy and engage around key priorities. Hugh advised that he would circulate the link to the commonplace platform when it was live. (Action: Hugh Smith). Partners agreed to share the link through their individual networks and platforms to ensure a wide spread of responses. (Action: All). In response to a question, Hugh advised that he would feedback to the Chair on future recovery and renewal sessions and the dates for these. (Action: Hugh Smith). The Cabinet Member for Communities commented that it was great to hear about the platform and commented that this information needed to be communicated to Members more widely. The Cabinet Member also welcomed the development of the Citizens Panel and requested that a briefing be prepared for Members on this. (Action: Hugh Smith). The Chair enquired whether there was an action plan in place to pull together this work and demonstrate progress. In response, officers advised that this was something to be discussed with the wider Policy team and would be fed back to the Partnership outside of the meeting. (Action: Hugh Smith). RESOLVED

Community Resilience and Enablement - working alongside partners and communities Verbal update Minutes: The Partnership received a verbal presentation around the Council’s community resilience and enablement work to ensure that the views of community organisations and young people were picked up and incorporated into the policy making process. The update was provided by Charlotte Pomery, AD Commissioning. The key points were noted as: a. There was a significant funding shortfall from central government to the response to COVID-19, which resulted in a budget shortfall for 2021-2022. Part of this process was about engaging with residents about how the Council might be able to do things differently. b. Part of doing things differently was around implementing a vision for locality working, as well as having the correct enabling structures in place. c. There were three key cross cutting projects involved in this work: Efficiency and automation; community resilience and enablement - how the Council could adopt a more joined up approach to early intervention and targeting interventions; and property – how the Council’s property portfolio could be used to drive community benefit. d. A key element of the resilience work stream was around ensuring a stable and viable voluntary sector and how this could be supported, including long term funding options. The following was raised in discussion of this update: a. The Partnership set out that access was a key consideration and that residents need to know where to go the access information and that services needed to be properly signposted. b. It was commented that there was an onus for public bodies to be able to put themselves in the shoes of the people they were supposed to represent. Concerns were set out around the risk of multi-agency work leading to areas of work slipping between the gaps. It was important that this was built in to the process. In response to an example given around hate crime, the Chair acknowledged the need for a multi-agency response on this issue and commented that this tended to be under-reported. c. The Bridge Renewal Trust commented that the sector recognised that it was going to be a difficult time and that the process for agreeing priorities going forward was crucial. It was important that voluntary sector organisations had a voice and felt they were involved in this process.
RESOLVED That the update was noted. |

Crime stoppers Verbal update Minutes: The Partnership received a verbal presentation on the Crimestoppers charity. The update was given by Alexa Loukas, the Crimestoppers representative for London. Crimestoppers is an independent charity established in the wake of the Broadwater Farm riots in 1985, which provides an entirely anonymous forum for anyone to report a crime, via a free phone number or a dedicated website. The Partnership was advised that Crimestoppers was not part of any law enforcement agency but worked closely with the police. · Telephone numbers were scrambled and IP addresses were encrypted, to ensure that the person reporting a crime was anonymous and any information that could potentially identify the person reporting the crime was removed from the report, before being sent to the relevant police force. · Crimestoppers had never breached anonymity in the 32 years it had been in existence. · Free translation services were offered. · Cash rewards were also offered by the charity, but less than 1% of those were ever claimed. · In 2019 crimestoppers received around 500k contacts from the public, with police taking action in 122k cases and which resulted in over 25,000 successful outcomes. · The youth branch of Crimestoppers was called Fearless who had their own anonymous reporting service for youth crime, as well as offering an advice and education service for young people. Fearless had a youth outreach worker for London and the borough of Barking & Dagenham has also commissioned a part-time outreach worker to work in that borough. Fearless also worked closely with schools and provided training services to professionals working with young people. · Fearless had been working closely with the community safety partnership in both Enfield and Haringey to deliver a targeted information and reporting campaign to young people who could information on gangs. This resulted in a 75% increase in information on County Lines operations. Crime stoppers had also provided communications materials to custody suites, as well as key community locations such as libraries.
The Chair thanked Alexa for coming and speaking to the CSP and highlighted the key role that Crimestoppers played in being able to safeguard young people in the borough and in helping the police to undertake a targeted, intelligence led response. The Partnership were urged to help raise awareness of Crimestoppers and its role within their individual networks.
The Chair agreed to set up a meeting between Crimestoppers and the Director of Children’s Services to discuss links with young people in the borough. (Action: Chair/Alexa Loukas). |
