Report ES16024
The report was presented to the Committee to update members on the annual submission to the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime.
The Committee heard that LBB was now in the fourth and final year of the current four year MOPAC funding programme. MOPAC had not clarified what the funding arrangements would be following 2016/17. LBB’s full annual submission to MOPAC had been attached as an appendix to the main report. This had been approved, paid in full, and the Committee noted the funding details.
MOPAC funding had been agreed for:
I. A Domestic Abuse Strategy Co-ordinator
II. The Domestic Abuse Advocacy Project
III. Community Domestic Abuse Projects
IV. Safer Bromley Van
V. Community Safety Mentoring Program
VI. Bromley ASB Initiatives
The funding total was £401,731.
Cllr Harmer commented on the KPI’s around the Safer Bromley Van. The report detailed that the number of referrals to the Safer Bromley Van had decreased in the previous year to 266, compared with a target of 400. Cllr Harmer suggested that this may simply be due to the fact that the demand was no longer there.
The Chairman noted that the target outcome for perpetrators of DV completing 30 hours of treatment had not been achieved. This was because the perpetrators were difficult to engage. Similarly, the Chairman enquired if perpetrators were given drug or alcohol rehabilitation treatment if required. The Assistant Director promised to find out and update the Committee.
RESOLVED:
(1) that the MOPAC Update report be noted
(2) that the Assistant Director of Street Scene, Greenspace and Public Protection enquire if DV perpetrators had the opportunity to receive drug or alcohol rehabilitation treatment where necessary.
