Hinweis der Redaktion
- Clinks is a national infrastructure organisation supporting VCS organisations working in criminal justice and community safety.Our aim is for a vibrant VCS working in partnership with other organisations and statutory bodies to benefit offenders and communities and ultimately make communities safer places to live. The work of the VCS is varied and wide ranging – due to its independence is able to work with communities and offenders and gain their trust in ways that stat orgs find more difficult. So by working in partnership the two sectors can compliment each other.We have over 500 members – mainly VCS organisations but we also offer associate membership for individuals, public and private sector orgs.
- The Safer Future Communities project is a good example of one of our projects that works at a national and regional level to promote partnership working to improve community safety.
- What will the networks look like and what will they do?These networks are likely to be structured differently in each area depending on local needs. They might be a network of existing networks but joining them up across geographical areas that haven’t previously worked together or a network of existing thematic networks or it could take the form of an existing CS network or be brand new. But all the networks, no matter how they’re structured will bring together VCSE organisations working on community safety, be able to provide information about community safety needs and evidence of ways to address them, and build links between network members and strategic partners.
- So at a national level we are providing support to the networks through guidance such as policy briefings on the impact of the changes on various sub sectors, support on things like lobbying and media work and membership to ensure the networks are diverse. We are also producing a position statement with our wider stakeholder group which will outline the VSCE offer to the PCC and the principles which guide the VCSE work in CS.At a local level the networks will be creating diverse partnerships. Its early days and they are still getting started (and the funding they received is not huge at all) but some are already working with PAs to support them in developing commissioning frameworks for the PCCs that do not disadvantage the VCSE, others are planning to map services in their area. Others are planning hustings and have already started influencing – for instance one has written to councillors to highlight the need to take equalities issues into account in the make of the PCP – I’m sure you’ll here more throughout today about what’s happening here in Thames Valley.
- Now I’m going to pass over to Paula to give more details about how the Humberside Safer Future Communities network is working in partnership with CSPs.
- Thank you Jess….I would like to start by reflecting on whatwe have done with the local network based on what were invited to do, follow this up by showing you how we have approached our networking in Humberside and conclude with some challenges we are facing in taking our next steps for us all to reflect upon…
- First slides summarise actions/activities we are working on together to help deliver CLINks’ aim forlocal networks One of the reasons our organisation was chosen to lead the development of the Humberside network was because it had already well established links with its CSP and respective partners both in NEL and at Police Authority Area level of Humberside and had a proactive working group of VCSE members and CS partners in NEL whose work programme already mirrored the needs of the safer future communities network being requested at Police Force level. Clearly there is always room for improvement so we took the opportunity to lead when invited on behalf of our VCSE members…With regards the training and support again in NEL we were already providing monthly briefing sessions for VCSE groups and CS partners on relevant CS subjects such as neighbourhood policing; reducing reoffending; PREVENT; sentencing; restorative practices; victims self help panels; police volunteering… and many more and these sessions are interactive and very much based on what learners want to know with practical work and a visit programme included
- Important to note we have not only included voluntary, community groups & social enterprises but also our partners in the 4 respective local community safety partnerships as well as our further & higher education links for young peopleIn terms of potentially excluded groups we are ensuring we share our work with and enable participation of and/or advocacy for people in our CSP client groups for example volunteers, offenders, victims, vulnerable young & old people noting that these clients can be part of more than one of these groups of people
- Major challenge in that we have a rather large estuary and a well-know bridge between us but once we persuaded VCSE of the value of getting together with partners and prospective PCC and presented AN approach to a single voice…Ongoing challenge is that there are MANY voices and Many of them still want to be heard individually so our task is to show what can be achieved by joining together using events and web pages for one voice on key issues that we can all agree upon (leaving aside for the time being those we cannot)Lobbying & influencing is more powerful as we all know when coordinated and consistent so we have built upon established links between local VCSE partners and their CSPs and are establishing new links with our PA & pot. PCC
- We each work differently with our 4 CSPs for example 3 have VCSE representation & one does not; in NEL we have a proactive working group which identifies needs and prioritises them for action as part of the CSP. The CAAC IF gave all 4 of us an opportunity to identify local CS needs and work with our CSPs to work jointly on their delivery. Neighbourhood Forums working closely with Neighbourhood Watch groups also help to identify/meet local CS needsWe provide opportunities for VCSE groups to bid for funding to support the delivery of CSP priorities where other partners are ineligible to bid this requires partners sharing their information & evidence as well as us sharing ours in turn by showing how our existing services; current projects and new ideas can contribute we influence future plans via the JSIA, for example in North & North East Lincolnshire the CSPs introduced Stronger Communities to the agenda, and commissioned the VCS to deliver services that were more appropriate via VCS groups than public sector organisations
- In addition to new work with HPA TWG all 4 lead partners have experience of commissioning work with children & young people’s services and health organisations all of which is transferable and in some cases such as drugs & alcohol linked to the police and crime agendaNow I would like to show you some examples of the current services and emerging development work in a slide show we put together for our launch which was very well received by our prospective PCCs and CSP partners – I am sure you will all have similar examples in your respective police authority areas…
- Focus on priority needs of client groups rather than individual member organisations and partner organisations – huge challenge in current economic climate with dilemma of local demands not always matching strategic priorities Share investment at operational tactical level by moving towards pooling ALL resources working on p/ship agenda, i.e. HR/buildings/financial so that not in direct competition but rather complementing each others’ servicesEnsure resilience is built into existing model rather than dismantling & rebuilding every time a new initiative comes along so that lessons learned are really put into practice and lightning does not strike twice in a destructive way! AND communities can contribute to future sustainability of frontline services
