Introduction

Aim

This quarterly assessment has been produced to enable the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Community Safety Partnership to make informed decisions on the allocation of resources and funding, to ensure that partnership priorities are being met. The quarterly assessment is intended to compliment single agency operational plans by considering a partnership approach to emerging Community Safety issues.

 

The assessment links directly to:

 

 

  • The Single Outcome Agreement – National outcomes 9 (We live our lives safe from crime, disorder and danger), and 11 (We have strong, resilient and supportive Communities where people take responsibility for their own action and how they affect others).
  • The Argyll and Bute Community Plan – where there is a focus on maintaining safer Communities by tackling Anti social behaviour, drug/alcohol abuse, violent crime including domestic abuse and reducing road traffic collisions
  • Single agency plans – e.g. Strathclyde Police’s Force/Divisional priorities and Community policing plans, Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Area Plans, NHS Highland Service Plans.

 

Method

 

The Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Community Safety Forum will meet quarterly and share information on emerging trends with a view to determining preventative, intelligence and enforcement priorities for the partnership. These will be reviewed at each meeting and partners will be asked to provide updates in respect of any actions that have been allocated.

 

 

Governance

 

Governance arrangements to be established at meeting.

 

Government protective marking and handling instructions

This document is classified as not protectively marked and therefore can be distributed to other agencies and will be published on the Argyll and Bute Council website. Partners may in addition bring restricted information to meetings which will be for the purposes of sharing with those present at the meeting and not for wider distribution.

 

 

Current Strategy Priorities (to be agreed)

·         Violence, Disorder and Anti Social Behaviour

·         Vulnerable Persons

·         Environmental Safety

 

These are therefore the areas concentrated on in this assessment.  In addition to

 these, regular scanning will be undertaken to identify emerging trends and address predicted threats that may fall outside the current Strategy, usually of exceptional risk.
