National Community Safety Network conference – PCCs, a new landscape
John Hayward-Cripps
Locality Director, Victim Support 23 October 2012
18
Some background information on Victim Support:
19
In the last year, Victim Support has worked with
over 1.1 million victims of
crime.
And our Witness
Service gives help and
support to 300,000
witnesses every year.
Over 7,000 victims
contacted
1,700 witnesses supported
Each month in the east of England alone:
20
We know that our work is having an impactVictims that have contact with Victim Support are:
• 36% more likely to say the police are doing a good or excellent job than those not having contact with Victim Support.
• 30% more likely to say they have confidence in the Criminal Justice System.
21
The role of Victim Support
Automatic referrals and self-referrals
Practical support
Emotional support
A demand-led service
22
Government consultation – ‘getting it right for victims and witnesses’
• Earlier this year, the Ministry of Justice confirmed consultation response regarding victim services.
• PCCs, across 41 police force areas, would be given responsibility for locally funding victim services.
• VS now looking forward to the new world under PCCs – lots of opportunities!
• VS will work closely with PCCs in the best interests of victims and witnesses.
23
‘5 promises’ for victims and witnessesVictim Support has asked PCC candidates to sign up to a set of ‘5 promises’ (or pledges) ahead of the election on 15 November. These are:
1.Be open and accountable to victims and witnesses, seeking out and acting on their views. 2.Ensure that victims and witnesses get the high quality help and support they need, when they need it. 3.Make the police more victim-focused and more effective at meeting their needs. 4.Give victims and witnesses an effective voice in the wider criminal justice system. 5.Constantly work to develop new ways of delivering justice for victims.
24
‘5 promises’ for victims and witnesses
• Scores of PCC candidates are declaring their commitment to victims and witnesses.
• To date, a total of 115 PCC candidates have signed up and we hope to see more doing so before the election.
• Of those candidates who have not signed up, the majority still wish to adopt and implement the contents of the five promises.
• These five simple pledges, put into practice by elected PCCs, will help safeguard and improve help for everyone affected by crime.
25
PCCs duty towards victims
• Under Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act, PCCs will have a statutory duty to obtain the views of victims.
• First time such a requirement has been written into law
• How can we ensure that this duty becomes a reality?
• PCC Oath of Office – reference made to victims.
26
Victim Support activity – pre election
• Our local managers have been engaging with PCC candidates across England and Wales, and encouraging sign up to the ‘5 promises’
• Arranging and hosting a number of PCC hustings or ‘question time’ events.
• Hosting PCC events at Conservative and Labour party conferences.
• Engaging with Police Authorities, contributing to transition board discussions.
27
What will happen once PCCs are elected
• It is important that the third sector continue to inform and engage with PCCs once in office.
• Continue to emphasise the importance of meeting victim and witness needs.
• Assist PCCs in the implementation of setting priorities for victims and witnesses.
• Share examples of best practice with PCCs.
28
Commissioning of victim services
• It is expected that PCCs will be given funding responsibility for commissioning victim services by 2014.
• Challenging, but exciting time for Victim Support – many organisations within sector will be seeking to impress PCCs.
• Feel we are in an excellent position to secure funding from PCCs and we have a lot to offer.
29
Community Safety Funding
• Home Office have advised that they will maintain funding arrangements until at least March 2013.
• PCCs will then receive some funding for community safety priorities.
• In 2014, the community safety fund will be rolled in to the larger police funding budget.
30
Sharing best practice with PCCs
• PCCs will make a decision on electing a national body that will seek to provide a national voice for PCCs, forum for discussion (early 2013).
• Local examples of best practice will continue to be supplied through PCCs and their teams, regardless of decision to appoint a national body.
• Victim Support feels well placed to advise PCCs on examples of best practice
31
Some of the opportunities for PCCs
• Act as a natural link between the courts and the police service.
• Allow all victims that want it the opportunity to participate in Restorative Justice.
• The ability to give more victims a voice in the criminal justice system.
• Encourage police forces to adopt innovative measures to better support victims.
32
The possible impact of PCCs
• A potential to bring organisations together and encourage better partnership working.
• An effective leadership role – the ability to take initiative and speak up for the public on important issues.
• PCC may need to prioritise certain services within the sector.

NCSN PEER NETWORKSMark McCormack
NCSN’sPeerNetworks
“activities where people support each other”
“a system of giving and receiving help founded on key principles of respect, shared responsibility, and mutual agreement of what is helpful”(Mead et al, 2001)
“Communities of practice are groups of people who share a passion for something that they know how to do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better”
(Wenger et al, 2002)
• The constructivist approach:
– Organisations risk being “anchored” in their own contexts (Muijs et al, 2010).
– Networking provides a method to which understanding can be broadened without being limited by local contexts (Weick, 1995).
• Peer networks can re-invest social capital when people move on from their roles
(Lloyd, 2007)• Peer networks
have the “ability to harness resources held by other actors and increase the flow of information”
(Lin, 1999)
Primary elements of social capital
• Age of austerity – stress on budgets
• New challenges to respond to (locally and nationally)
• Large amount of role and responsibility change across public sector; institutional knowledge gaps
• National trend of a more active society, eg Big Society, fixmystreet.org, police.uk
• ‘Virtual’, noticeable practise site for all NCSN members
• Info exchange• People sharing experience and
new ideas• Support-needs of the sector:
– Professional qualification linked to our work
– Knowledge hub• Timely information from the
centre• Knowledge and experience;
sharing of expertise• Resources and abilities• Sharing of good practice
• Sharing of successful projects to tackle certain issues; borrow with pride
• Support to continue to deliver effectively in a changing environment (eg PCC, reduced resources)
• Knowing what toys the other agencies have to bring to the party.
• Independent, constructive support; mentoring; critical friends
• Sharing information• Partnership working• Not re-inventing the wheel
Members said networks would allow them to explore the following with other members:
•Listen to, and respond to, the needs of young people in our communities•Better links across Criminal Justice system agencies•Funding•Transitional change•Policy/procedures•Projects that have worked•How to work with PCCs•How to do more with less
Members said networks would allow them to explore the following with other members:
•Culture of trust (highest priority)•Participation in networks demonstrated value•There was a strong level of interaction
• Peer networks dedicated to work topics
– eg the night-time economy,ASB,PCC/PCP transition,community sentencing,PbR in community safety,knife crime,acquisitive crime, etc.
• Peer networks dedicated to specific roles or common bodies– eg Community Safety Managers,
Probation, Police, health professionals, CSPs, PCPs, etc.
• Peer networks dedicated to areas with differing jurisdiction– eg nations
• Easy to join and leave• Self-moderating• Both via inbox and online (email to/from
‘[email protected]’)• Can upload resources using online site• Hierarchy not functional in relationships• Flexibility is core focus, based on user-driven options.• Network with the right people
• Matching will occur in the structure – eg on job role, location.
• Hierarchy not functional in relationships• Flexibility is core focus, based on user-driven
options.• Possible to regenerate.

Safety Network
An overview
©NCSN 2012
NCSN activities include promoting effective partnership working and problem solving via the delivery of
national training, community safety guidance documentation, regional seminars and consultation events.
©NCSN 2012
We have recently reviewed the work we do in response to a member survey. The most recent additions to the training modules are:•Performance Management•Collaborative Working and Business Engagement•Community Engagement and Neighbourhood Working
©NCSN 2012
Performance management is a process which operates as part of a continuous business planning cycle. In the brave new world of localism and the ‘Big society’, Performance Indicators will be identified and measured by our communities.
This short, 1 day, course will help you to: Understand current performance and identify
and prioritise what needs to be done Plan for improvement, making it clear that
performance matters Join up your thinking, concentrating on the things
that matter, finding your own frameworks to help people perform well
©NCSN 2012
Collaborative Working and Business Engagement
Businesses work differently to local partnerships and it is important to identify the most practical ways in which you might get them involved. There are benefits to both parties and the modules is therefore also appropriate for the business community.
This short, half day, course aims to introduce students to
the basic principles, processes and tools to create effective engagement and collaboration with the business community in order to reduce crime and disorder.
©NCSN 2012
Community engagement and neighbourhood working should include providing community members with the opportunities, skills, abilities and confidence to develop their communities.
This short, 1 day, course aims to: assist practitioners to identify and develop
effective communication skill., Identify appropriate partnership data and
information sources for addressing community problems.
to establish, or improve community engagement policies and strategies in their areas for focussed
community safety interventions.
©NCSN 2012
We are also currently in the process of re-developing the Skills for Justice,
level 2, development award on Strategic Problem Solving in
Community Safety, which we co-produced and piloted, into a set of
smaller modules that can be studied in ‘bite size’ chunks allowing for fewer abstraction times for participants.
©NCSN 2012
These courses are offered on a free of charge basis until March 2013
See the flyer in your delegate pack for more information
©NCSN 2012
NCSN also has the capacity to develop bespoke training on specific areas of demand in
response to member needs and changes in legislation.
We are very keen to hear from you in respect of training areas
that you would like to see us provide.

NCSN TOPICAL FORUMSMark McCormack (Andy Pownall)

Topical Forums
An opportunity for practitioners to have a ”FORUM” to voice their
opinions
©NCSN 2012
NCSN activities include promoting effective feedback to the Home Office in the form of
Topical Forums discussing different themes at Regional
Seminars.
©NCSN 2012
Regional Forums previously coordinated by Government Offices and existed in most regions in the UK. They acted as an arena to:•Exchange ideas•Effective Networking and Feedback•Explain new Government Legislation•Discuss topical issues
©NCSN 2012
NCSN intentions/aims.•To facilitate an arena to debate topical issues•To encourage delegates at Regional Seminars to engage in discussion•To collate feedback and if required forward to Home Office•To inform delegates of up to date information on different themes.
©NCSN 2012
How will NCSN do this?
We will use a slot during the Regional Seminars to discuss Topical Themes
An NCSN Board Director will chair each session
Delegates will be spilt into groups and given three questions to discuss and debate based on the core subject of the Regional Seminar
There will be an opportunity to feedback to the whole delegation
©NCSN 2012
Feedback
NCSN Staff will collate feedback from the groups based on the three questions posed
A written report will be formulated and feedback will be sent to the delegates and Home Office
Information and feedback will be posted on NCSN website
©NCSN 2012
We are confident this will be an effective reporting mechanism to the Home
Office. Since the disestablishment of Government Offices and Regional
Forums there has not been the opportunity for practitioners to feedback
issues
©NCSN 2012
These Topical Forums are offered on a free of charge basis until March 2013
