The New Duty to Tackle Reoffending – What Does This Mean
within New Government Priorities? |
|
|
Stuart Douglass, Chair of Community Safety Advisors, Local
Government Association
|
|
|
The keynote address will provide the framework for the
conference through a local government view on the impact of the
new government on the recently introduced duty to tackle
reoffending and how this fits with other statutory duties of the
authority as well as a possible change in emphasis from
government following the election. |

The Legislative Background and Central Government Objectives |
|
|
Jenny Oklikah, Partnership Development Unit, the Home Office |
|
|
The Police and Crime Act underlines the current importance
placed on reduction of reoffending by the existing government.
This address provides a view on the objectives of central
government following the general election and how these changes
will fit in with wider reform of community safety and
partnership working. It will also provide an initial view on the
new Government’s priorities and objectives for CDRPs and
probation in creating safer communities. |

Offender Management – The Role of Responsible Authorities |
|
|
National Offender Management Service (NOMs) – speaker to be
confirmed |
|
|
The new duty on local authorities to reduce reoffending will
mean close involvement with local national offender management
programmes (NOMs). This address will look at the roles of the
partners within offender management and how partnership working
by Responsible Authorities can impact on reoffending. This will
be examined in the light of expected budgetary restraint
following the general election. |

The Probation Service – Bringing a New Dimension to
Partnership Working |
|
|
Ian Fox, Policy Development and Business Capability Manager,
the Probation Association |
|
|
Under the Police and Crime Act the Probation Service will change
legal status from a co-operating body to a full responsible body
as defined by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. This is at the
same time as probation boards move to trust status. This address
will examine the changes within the probation service and the
impact of the probation service on CDRPs and partnership working
and whether objectives will remain the same following the
election.

The Police Role in Integrated Offender Management |
|
|
Assistant Chief Constable John Long, Avon and Somerset Police
ACPO Lead, Reoffending |
|
|
Integrated offender management is a system that provides all
agencies engaged in local criminal justice partnerships with a
single coherent structure for the management of repeat
offenders. Pioneer work in integrated offender management has
been underway since 2008. This address will provide a police
view on integrated offender management, the key police role in
reducing reoffending and how partners can be incorporated into
the integrated approach. This will be examined in the light of
possible changes in priorities and budgetary restraint. |

Case Studies of Offender Management Embedded Partnership
Strategies This session will hear from a number of areas
where offender management is already embedded in partnership
work. The presentations will provide an insight into the way the
new statutory duties will affect responsible bodies, the
broadening of partnerships and the impact on the work of CDRPs.
The case studies will address possible future direction within
the framework of budgetary restraint .
Derbyshire County Council and Erewash Borough Council
Glenn Mason , Senior Probation Officer , Community Safety
Unit, Derbyshire County Council
Phillip Wright, Director of Neighbourhood Services, Erewash
Borough Council The Derbyshire Reducing Re-offending
Strategy was lead by the Derbyshire Probation Trust working
closely with the Community Safety Unit at Derbyshire County
Council. The eight Districts and Boroughs were engaged to ensure
local delivery and to take account of local requirements and
services. One of these Boroughs, Erewash Borough Council, is
developing a local response to the strategy by working closely
with the county council, the Probation Trust and other partner
bodies to embed reducing re-offending into its partnership work.
Further case studies to be confirmed. |
