Community Safety in Derby

Where we were Extensive central Government grants A range of statutory requirements under the 1998 CAD and 2004 PCA Performance framework a wide range of indicators Central Government Guidance and Policy Significant new legislation (20 Acts)
25
Where are we now No central Government grant except for Prevent programme, which is ring-fenced Last funding in 2012-13 for gangs and youth violence Pressures of Local Authority and partner budgets Partners retracting, partnership working and collaboration more difficult How do Councils prioritise community safety? Role of OPPC, governance and funding
26
Current Situation Community safety vastly reduced, less resource and staff Core funding from Council, BCU and OPPC More focussed on risk and threat Strong political support Community safety delivered through neighbourhood agenda and core team of 2 staff Local freedom and flexibility v’s lack of funding
