Report: Community Safety Plan 2009-12, April 2009 Refresh Report to: Cabinet, 9th March 2009 and Council 24th March 2009 Report by: Rachael Dalby, Head of Community Safety Written by: Lisa Wills, Strategy and Partnership Manager 1. Purpose To outline the high priorities for the refreshed 3-year annual rolling Community Safety Plan 2009-2012 and the links with Portsmouth’s Local Area Agreement 2009-2012. 2. Recommendation

That the Cabinet endorse the strategic priorities for the Community Safety Plan 2009-12 – April 2009 Refresh.

3. Background 3.1 The Safer Portsmouth Partnership is required to produce an annual partnership

strategic assessment, which identifies priorities to be included into the statutory 3-year rolling Community Safety Plan, refreshed annually. There is a requirement to publish the plan each year on 1 April. The structure of the plan is prescribed to an extent and must contain a review of the previous year’s performance.

3.2 This year the partnership has worked closely with Portsmouth Police to produce a

joint assessment that will further improve partnership working by aligning priorities.

3.3 The Joint Strategic Assessment 2008 has identified the priorities for the next 3

years as:

- anti-social behaviour - violence - young people at risk - substance misuse (inc. drugs and alcohol) - re-offending - acquisitive crime - protecting communities

3.4 It is important that relevant indicators and targets from plans such as the Policing

Plan and the PCT Business Plan are shared and included in the Community Safety Plan. This ensures that all member organisations of the Safer Portsmouth Partnership share common goals and can allocate resources accordingly.

3.5 The Community Safety Plan is a high-level strategic document that sets out

priorities identified in the Joint Strategic Assessment. As partner priorities and indicators are confirmed then additional relevant detail can be added to the Community Safety Plan.

2

3.6 Each priority area and indicators will be underpinned by a detailed ‘SPP Delivery

Plan’ identifying SMART targets and targets linked to the Local Area Agreement. Performance against these targets will be managed by the Safer Portsmouth Partnership at its quarterly meetings and by the Local Strategic Partnership.

4. Conclusion

The new 3-year Community Safety Plan identifies 7 priority areas for activity. Further details to support delivery of these priorities will be added in conjunction with partners. Following the annual Strategic Assessment in September 2009 the plan will be refreshed to ensure it continues to reflect local priorities.

5. City Solicitor's Comments

The City Solicitor is satisfied that it is within the Council's powers to approve the recommendations as set out.

6. Equality Impact Assessment

Separate Equality Impact Assessments for agreed activity will be undertaken as part of the detailed delivery plans referred to in 3.6 above.

SAFER PORTSMOUTH PARTNERSHIP PLAN 2009-2012 APRIL 2009 REFRESH

Page 2 of 19 THE SAFER PORTSMOUTH PARTNERSHIP PLAN 2009-2012

The Safer Portsmouth Partnership works across the city in active partnership, to deliver long-term, sustainable reductions in crime, disorder and substance misuse. The partnership will work in line with the national ‘Hallmarks of Effective Practice’ and Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, in order to create a city where we value and respect each other and the environment, and where we all enjoy lives free from crime, the fear of crime and substance misuse.1 How did we do in 2008/09?2 Strategic priorities for 2008/09

Performance

08/09 Performance assessment (April 08-Dec 08 only)

1 Violence - reduce domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, racial violence and homophobic violence and the harm it causes those who suffer

We have seen significant reductions in more serious violence for example; sexual offences fell by 9.9%. However, the number of assaults has risen across the city and improvements are still needed in measuring and analysing violent crime. Repeat incidents of domestic violence increased during 2008/09 however, the rate is still much lower than it was in 2005/06. Portsmouth’s Police’s overall performance is better than in other areas of Hampshire.

2 Anti-social behaviour - reduce anti social behaviour related to alcohol and young people focusing on arson and criminal damage

Levels of criminal damage and arson fell by 21.3%. Data from the new Place Survey will show any changes in the perception of antisocial behaviour as a problem (mid Feb?). Operation Bourne has extended police and community warden foot patrols on Friday and Saturday nights with follow up in Paulsgrove provided by the WeeKnD Project.

All crime was down 6% in the Guildhall Walk area, assault down by 17% and criminal damage down by 27%. However, more needs to be done to maintain these reductions and deal with displacement of alcohol related violence to other areas of the city.

We are significantly above target to increase the number of problem drug users (PDUs) in the city that were maintained in effective treatment. Next year we will be working to further increase the proportion of PDUs in treatment.

3 Drugs and alcohol - reduce the harm caused by drugs and alcohol focusing on alcohol related violence, parental substance misuse and drug and alcohol dependency

Alcohol related hospital admissions have seen a steep increase in the past 12 months and we have not met our target reduction. However, we know from a recent review that the baseline data – on which the 08/09 target was set - was actually lower than we thought. This means that our target would also have been lower and that we may have achieved it. A revised target has been set for 2009/10.

4 Young people at risk - reduce the number of young people committing offences and reduce the harm caused by substance misuse among young people

A new way of measuring re-offending by young people and first time entrants to the criminal justice system is now in place and shows significant reductions in Portsmouth. The Tellus3 Survey in Sept 2008 (yr 8 and 10 only) show that substance misuse amongst young people is broadly inline with the national average. Work to reduce alcohol related anti-social behaviour is linked and targeted.

5 Re-offending - reduce levels of adult re-offending focusing on drug related acquisitive crime, (burglary, vehicle crime), Prolific and other Priority Offenders and violent offenders

The Ministry of Justice is still working out how to measure monitor the re-offending rate. Vehicle crime and burglary (often committed by repeat offenders) both reduced during the year although burglary is now on an upward trend and we have seen recent rises in vehicle crime.

What are the strategic priorities for the next three years? ‘Strategic priorities’ are long term goals that take time to achieve. The priorities for 2009/10 are very similar to last year’s and are based on the findings of the first joint strategic assessment between Portsmouth Police and the Safer Portsmouth Partnership (December 2008). A strategic assessment is completed every year in order to check that police and partnership strategic priorities are correct and identify any new priorities that may be emerging. The strategic assessment summarises a local analysis of crime, anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol misuse, including community concerns and perceptions.

Refreshed strategic priorities for 2009-103: Indicators of progress

1 Violence: Reduce domestic violence; rape and sexual assault; robbery, racial

violence and homophobic/transphobic violence and the harm it causes to those who suffer. Analyse violence to identify other emerging trends particularly in relation to other alcohol related violence and youth on youth violence and build this into the programme.

Assault with less serious injury crime rate (NI 20)* Repeat incidents of domestic violence (NI 32) Domestic abuse attrition rate (local indicator), Alcohol related violence (local indicator - see priority 3)

2 Safer Neighbourhoods; reducing anti social behaviour, criminal damage, arson and the fear of crime: Reduce the harm caused by anti social behaviour within communities focusing on specific neighbourhoods and locations (such as public spaces); alcohol related anti social behaviour and young people.

Perceptions of anti-social behaviour (NI 17)* Dealing with local concerns about anti social behaviour and crime by the local council and police (NI 214)* Arson (NI 33)* Criminal damage (new local indicator for 2009/10)

3 Drugs and Alcohol: Reducing the harm caused by drugs and alcohol; focusing on alcohol related violence ensuring cross over with anti social behaviour and violence priorities; parental substance misuse and drug and alcohol dependency. With a specific review and focus on drug and alcohol misusing offenders.

Alcohol related violence (local indicator) Numbers of problem drug users in effective treatment (NI40) Number of alcohol related hospital admissions (NI 39)* Parental substance misuse (new local indicator for 2009/10) Establish a baseline to measure the number of offenders that need alcohol intervention and those that engage (new local indicator for 2009/10)

4 Young people: reduce the number of young people committing offences and involved in anti social behaviour through a process of prevention and targeted work to reduce re-offending. Reduce the harm caused by substance misuse among young people and in their families; and reduce the harm caused by domestic violence within the family.

Proven rate of re-offending NI 19 Number of 10-17 year olds entering the criminal justice system for the first time (NI 111)* Substance misuse by young people (NI 115)*

5 Adult Re-offending Reducing levels of adult re-offending including work with offenders responsible for volume crime particularly all drug related acquisitive crime; violent offenders and prolific and other priority offenders.

Adult re-offending rate (NI18) Reduction in conviction rates of those on IDAP5 (local indicator) Re-offending rate of prolific offenders6 (new NI 30 for 2009/10) Drug related acquisitive crime (new NI38 for 2009/10)

4 Data to support this indicator will be collected by the new Place Survey. This indicator is also part of the new performance framework for Police and Community Safety (APACS) due to be implemented from April 2008 5 Integrated Domestic Abuse Programme * Local Area Agreement indicators 6 The PPO Scheme is part of a national strategy



Refreshed strategic priorities for 2009-103: Indicators of progress

6 Acquisitive crime: specifically burglary; shop theft and vehicle crime. Robbery should also be considered in this section focusing on prevention; tackling offenders and addressing drug misuse.

Vehicle crime (new local indicator for 2009/10) Domestic and non-domestic burglary (new local indicator for 2009/10) Serious acquisitive crime rate (NI 16)* Shop theft (new local indicator for 2009/10) Robbery (new local indicator for 2009/10)

7 Protecting communities through prevention and planning to tackle terrorism and domestic extremism in line with the national strategy and to prepare for emergencies and major incidents

Building resilience to violent extremism (NI 35)

Research and Analysis The partnership has developed and approved a programme of research and analysis to support the production of the annual strategic assessment. This is attached as Appendix D. Delivery and measuring success We will monitor progress by measuring our performance against national and local indicators as set out above as well as developing detailed delivery plans including SMART targets, where lead agencies and individuals responsible for achieving these targets are identified. High level indicators will be monitored using the SPP Performance Summary (see Appendix B). The delivery plans will be reviewed and updated every 6 months and published on the Safer Portsmouth Partnership website. Supporting documents will set out details of the data itself, when we will take measurements and who will be accountable for providing the data. Community engagement The partnership uses a variety of methods to ensure that the community are actively engaged; that local concerns are heard and understood. The on-going development of the Community Tasking Groups across the city Portsmouth ensure local issues, brought by local Councillors and service managers ensures action is taken to address local issues; Offenders are tasked to work in the community by the Community Payback scheme, managed by the Probation Service and linked to the Community Tasking Groups; 14 Neighbourhood Forums provide a regular vehicle to listen to concerns and feedback to the community; A regular MORI Survey provides robust information on community concerns, more targeted surveys, such as the Portsmouth Drug Users Survey, inform action planning. Portsmouth Users Self Help (PUSH) and the newly developed Carers Forum specific groups an opportunity to influence service design. Mainstreaming Community Safety (Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998) Reducing crime, disorder and substance misuse is part of our day to day work. Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 applies to the Police and Local Authorities. The Police Reform Act 2002 amends this to include the Fire Service and creates a duty to consider the impact of



its various activities and functions on crime, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse in everything they do, and further, to do everything they reasonably can to prevent crime, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse in their area7. All partner agencies, not just responsible authorities, can help to plug funding gaps by considering remodelling or even decommissioning of existing services in order to better target our 7 priority areas. For example, Local Authority Housing provides a Tenancy Support Services that helps to reduce rent arrears, as well as anti-social behaviour and substance misuse. Identifying opportunities for each partner to support other partners achieve their individual organisational targets often results in better co-ordination and improved service delivery. What if things go wrong? Using the City Council’s Risk Criteria8, we have identified the main risks that may prevent progress towards our objectives this year. The table below sets out how these risks will be minimised and who is responsible for managing them.

7 Despite the Primary Care Trust being made a ‘responsible authority’ by this legislation, there was a specific exclusion in relation to statutory responsibilities under Section 17. Amendments in the Police Reform Act mean that the Home Secretary can decide to include other agencies, such as the National Offender Management Service, without further legislation. 8 Risk 1-4 where 1 is lowest. Risk rating = likelihood x impact, effectiveness of controls = probability x controlled score. PCC Risk Management Handbook is available on request or via www.saferportsmouth.org



Appendix A: Membership and core values of the Safer Portsmouth Partnership CORE VALUES of the SAFER PORTSMOUTH PARTNERSHIP Forging constructive partnerships No single agency can tackle crime and influence change alone. Inter and intra agency working is recognised as the best way to tackle complex issues. Partnership working is crucial to our work. Consulting and reflecting on local priorities Local people know their area best and need to be part of local solutions. Local concerns must underpin the community safety strategy. Additional efforts will be made to consult vulnerable groups to ensure social inclusion. Developing appropriate data collection mechanisms and undertaking research to monitor, evaluate, and review the strategy and ensure crime reduction measures respond to changing needs. Developing considered responses to crime prevention We will only develop actions that are evidence based, outcome focused and ensure services provide a balance of approach between prevention, rehabilitation, support and enforcement Equality of opportunity The Partnership will make no assumptions about the causes of crime and disorder in our city and ensure that services are accessible and responsive to the wide range of needs reflected in the city. It is an explicit expectation that all those involved in the partnership work to avoid all forms of discrimination on the grounds of gender, sexuality, faith, disability, age, culture or ethnic background. Communication and sharing information Working to the agreed local protocols for information sharing and ensuring an effective internal and external communications strategy Continuous improvement A commitment to continually review Partnership structure, operations and service delivery, develop and respond to consultation, benchmark against partner areas and demonstrate improvement to services.

Meriel Harwood

Anti Social Behaviour





STARTED Long term Review how ASB is currently categorised and recorded – plan a long term process for improving recording and monitoring of ASB. Recognised that changing categories not easily achievable but improving current recording practice is possible.

Noted complications of doing this on a large scale but did identify that key agencies could improve quality of current data sets. This should include better location mapping, and clarity on the behaviour (even if recorded to current categories). Target groups for improvement should be Fire Service; police; community wardens and ASBU

Starting 2009 Lisa to liaise with ASB Delivery Group and to link this into the Data Agreements being drawn up with each agency.

STARTED Med term Run more formal assessment of current ASB position using data from the police; Hampshire Fire and Rescue; community wardens; ASBU; housing service etc. This should include a better breakdown of the behaviour; who is committing it; who is experiencing it and a mapping procedure. This will be a major piece of research because of the poor quality of recording and data and the number of recorded incidents.

Recognised this is a significant research proposal.

Priority Issue Actions Timeline Who STARTED Long term There are a number of ‘analysts’ within partner

agencies potentially available to work on this assessment and other analysis through the year. Better co-ordination and planning supported by senior officers would enable them to work more effectively as a team to agreed standards and methodology and thus able to produce strategic assessments more efficiently and effectively to a tight timescale

The development of a ‘virtual Research and Development team’ for Portsmouth will be lead by Paul Edmondson-Jones via the LSP

Start 2009 Paul Edmondson-Jones

NOT STARTED

High Data cleansing is necessary on many data sets particularly with regard to checking data is relevant to the Portsmouth city area. Ideally this would be done by the data owners with partnership support and quality checking.
