RD/LW/ CA/Cllr New

LD

Discussion about the levels of success on some of the indicators. Although there were areas which showed improvement this sometimes masked an increase in other crimes and therefore some of the targets might need to be changed to reflect this. The recommended revised indicators for 2014/15 are outlined in the performance summary report. It was agreed that the Theme Champions should meet before the next SPP meeting to look at these indicators. With regard to the indicator for drug misuse, Barry Dickinson advised that due to The Hub being a new model it was anticipated that it would be one year before indicators in that area could be measured.

Min No

Action Discussion around identifying what would be the right environment for the providers to hear the concerns of the partnership in relation to the newly modelled Hub. It was suggested that provider representation should be included in the discussions for the SPP membership review (Minute 31 above refers). Sarah Beattie and Barbara Swyer advised that due to the recent changes in the probation service it was not yet clear how the required data would be provided in future. Within the National Probation Service the performance team is currently being recruited and this team would provide the national data, whereas the Community Rehabilitation Company would only be able to provide data for Hants and IoW, and only for Tier 3 and below. Stuart Murray commented that in relation to domestic violence there was concern about the difficulty in getting cases through court and he will raise this issue with the new Head of CPS, Kate Brown, and report back to the SPP in due course. There was also some discussion regarding the non-attendance of the CCG at meetings and it was agreed that the partnership write to Innes Richens to raise their concerns. Comments on the performance report should be forwarded to Sam Graves by the end of June so the Q1 performance summary for 2014/15 can be set. ACTION: 1. SPP to write to the Deputy Director of the National Probation Service and to Mary D'Arcy of the Community Rehabilitation Company to clarify how the performance data from both organisations will be produced. 2. Arrange meeting with Theme Champions to look critically at indicators recommended for performance summary. 3. A letter from responsible authorities to be sent to Innes Richens regarding their concerns about non-attendance of CCG at SPP meetings. 4. Supt Murray to speak to CPS about the number of domestic violence cases getting to court.

There was a brief discussion about the bid by Aurora New Dawn to fund the DV car and it was agreed that SPP would write a letter of support for this funding bid.

It was noted that some of the issues raised in the update go across both the Domestic Abuse and Young People agendas, and it was generally agreed that we need to find a way to share information. For example, the findings relating to the recent DHR near-miss incident should be shared with Adult Safeguarding. David Williams advised that there will be a Peer Review in Adult Social Care shortly and these findings should be fed into that review. Bruce Marr advised that similarly the MARAC selfassessment evaluation will be fed in the Children's Services Peer Review.
