Issue - meetings

Paragraphs 1,2 and 7.

Members considered the remainder of the Partnership updates in exempt business due to the sensitivity of the information discussed.

Domestic Abuse Service

The Domestic Violence Officer/IDVA provided a presentation to Members in relation to the Domestic Abuse Service.  This covered:

• how the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) worked,
• an update on the range of partners the service worked with,
• the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic,
• a comparison of recent statistics and the demand on the service.

Case Study example

Members were then presented with a case study example of how the different elements of the community safety team work together.  The case study gave an example of partnership working between the domestic abuse service and the ASB team, and how both parts of the service work closely with the local police teams.

Performance report

Finally, the Members were presented with the performance data report covering the last 12 months.  A Member queried whether Bolsover had a clear comparator Council by which to judge performance.  Officers confirmed that they regularly compared performance against other Derbyshire authorities to gauge the quality-of-service delivery.

Moved by Councillor David Dixon and seconded by Councillor Jen Wilson

RESOLVED that (1) the reports outlining currently delivery be noted.

(2) A representative from the Deliberate Fires Group be invited to attend a future meeting of the Committee post the May election to update Members as originally planned.
