BeNCH Bidder event Feb 14, 2014 Cambridgeshire and Submission

Background

Cambridgeshire has mature partnership working arrangements which has already enabled much joint agenda setting and working and continues to drive the provision of services in the county.

The following summary of partnership working arrangements is based upon the outline template headings agreed by BeNCH colleagues. Backing documents will be made available to bidders on request, comprehensive information is also available on respective agencies’ websites.

It should be noted that Cambridgeshire Criminal Justice Area – CJA (covered by Cambridgeshire Constabulary and also by Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Probation Trust) refers to Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council. In the following narrative Cambridgeshire CC only and Peterborough Unitary will be referred to when describing activity which takes place in the Council areas only.

Section One - Local Strategic Plans & Priorities

Police and Crime Plan

The Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner's Police and Crime Plan details Sir Graham Bright's five Police and Crime Objectives which aim to reduce crime and disorder and keep people safe, and 15 personal pledges - one of which is to give priority to frontline policing. These objectives and pledges are also prioritised at district level through the community safety partnerships to ensure true joined up working.

Community Safety Plans

There are six constituted Community Safety Partnerships (CSP) in the CJA area based on the five Cambridgeshire district and Peterborough city council area. A CJA Community Safety Strategic Board meets every six months as a co-ordinating and strategic body, although it has no powers to direct the activity of the individual CSPs.

All of the CSPs have a Community Safety Plan and these may be found here and at http:// www.saferpeterborough.org.uk . The CSPs have based their plans on the Community Safety Strategic Needs Assessments. These assessments were commissioned from the County Council Research Group and the Safer

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Probation Trust (CPPT), along with all other probation providers, is assessed for its performance in reducing re- offending of offenders under its supervision. The most recent information on this performance is as follows:

• For the period June 2012 to July 2013, there was a -11.40% difference between predicted and actual (indicating a strong performance on re- offending)

• All Offenders - April 2012 - March 2013 CPPT was placed 8th best performing Trusts of 36 Trusts. Actual rate of re-offending 8.91% against a predicted rate of 9.91% resulting in a -10.14% difference (Lower than predicted)

• Community Orders – April 2012 – March 2013 CPPT was placed 6th best performing Trusts of 36 Trusts. Actual rate of re-offending 9.03% against a predicted rate of 10.37% resulting in a -12.95% difference (Lower than predicted)

• Licences – April 2012 – March 2013 CPPT was placed 24th best performing Trusts of 36 Trusts. Actual rate of re-offending 8.41% against a predicted rate of 8.00% resulting in a 5.15% difference (No significant difference)

Joint Strategic Needs Assessments

Public Health is now part of local government and one of the benefits of this integration is the quality of JSNAs which are useful for both Health and Local Government. The JSNA in Cambridgeshire has strongly influenced the Health and Well Being Board and the priorities which it has set. A set of reports are available at here . Of note is the Cambridgeshire Health and Wellbeing Board priority regarding domestic abuse.

Peterborough’s JSNA reports are available here along with its three year Health & Wellbeing Strategy which sets out the over-arching priorities for the city:

Health including Mental Health

Many of the aspirations for working with offenders with mental health issues were expressed in the Bradley Report 2009 , elements of which are being introduced in a national pilot. Offenders are well known to have higher rates of mental health issues compared to the general population. Often these are undiagnosed or offenders are not in touch with services which might support

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014 them. Considerable efforts by a range of services are made to secure participation in assessment and treatment. It is also recognised that many offenders will not reach the high thresholds for medically supervised treatment and so their condition may become entrenched and hamper their chances of successful rehabilitation.

There has been a long standing deficit in a dedicated forensic service for adults with mental health issues and this has recently been addressed with the creation of a small team funded by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation Trust. However this is a small specialist service which will see only the highest risk offenders.

It is known that many offenders have unmet physical health needs and their morbidity is poorer than the general population. There is an opportunity to reconnect offenders with primary healthcare and with GPs in particular. This is an area of potential, especially for the short sentence adult prisoners who will be subject to statutory supervision.

Troubled Families

In Cambridgeshire the Troubled Families initiative is known as Together for Families and it incorporates the Family Intervention Project. The strategic plan is in the pack. The project is working on a lead professional model and has good multi-agency sign up including the Police who have seconded officers to work on the project. Probation is a key part of the steering group with offenders clearly flagged as one of the referral criteria.

In Peterborough, Connecting Families has grown out of the previous Family Recovery Project. The project uses connectors based across a range of partner agencies - including the police - to work with families, matching the families’ needs to the most appropriate connector to case manage. As with Cambridgeshire, there is good multi-agency sign up and probation representation on the steering group. Again, offending and/or anti-asocial behavior are one of the referral criteria.

Troubled Families is a good example of emerging practice in an age when agencies are seeking to maximise efficient working with less resources. The evidence base for this work is at an early stage but evaluations locally (York Consulting are undertaking a cost benefit evaluation in Cambridgeshire) and nationally via the Troubled Families Office suggest significant gains for services.

Section Two - Statutory & Non Statutory Partnerships

Community Safety Partnerships

As mentioned in section one, the CSPs are locally based and locally accountable. Involvement with elected councillors is usually pretty high and engagement of responsible authorities – police, health, fire and probation is good. These partners also attend the CJA Community Safety Strategic Group.

There is a non-statutory Community Safety Officer Group in Cambridgeshire which is chaired by the Head of Safer Communities (County) for the CSP Officers to meet and to share practice. There is also a Police and Crime Partnership Working Group which is more strategic. It is chaired by the Director of Enhanced and Preventative Services (County). This group was borne out of the Police and Crime Commissioner Transitions Group and has proved a helpful touchstone for senior criminal justice partners to work with the two local authorities, especially in regard to Transforming Rehabilitation planning and in aligning work with the Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA)

The CJA has a well performing MAPPA Strategic Board which is chaired by the Assistant Chief Constable as a statutory partnership. The attendance is monitored and is of a high level. The Board has oversight of the operational working of the MAPPA processes and in particular the engagement and support of partners in MAPPA work. Engagement with housing providers and Registered Social Landlords is good. The MAPPA annual report is in the pack.

Cambridgeshire MAPPA has effective systems and processes to co-ordinate the management of serious violent and sexual offenders at local level. Working relationships between police and probation are particularly strong, with consistent input from HM Prison Service (as a responsible authority partner) and social care and housing (as duty to co-operate partners). There has also been recent success in setting up enhanced mental health provision under MAPPA.

The MAPPA Manager, a Senior Probation Officer, is hosted by the police at police HQ within the Force Intelligence Bureau and works closely with the Public Protection Unit.

Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB)

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014

Both Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have a statutory LSCB which is responsible for assuring and monitoring the arrangements for the protection of children. Both have experienced independent chairs. Representation is good with statutory partners playing a strong role and being called to account for their work. There is a main committee and a subgroup structure for both LSCBs. Peterborough’s LSCB includes a specific priority on protecting children fully from the effects of domestic abuse and neglect.

Youth Offending Services

Both Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have a Youth Offending Service. Both have seconded probation officers and receive budget support from CPPT in line with statutory expectations. Probation sit on the Executive Boards for both services. The Youth Justice Board has issued guidance concerning the transfer of responsibilities for young people who turn 18 and whom will transfer to the CRC or NPS. The seconded probation officers in the YOS Services will have a key role to play in this. The annual youth justice plan is in the pack.

Safeguarding Adults

Cambridgeshire Adult Safeguarding Board is chaired by the Executive Director: Children, Families and Adults Services. Representation is good with partners playing an active role in safeguarding adults from abuse. The SAB meets on a quarterly basis and there is a subgroup structure. The 2014- 2017 Business Plan and annual report provides further information. The Peterborough Safeguarding Adults Board is well established and provides the strategic leadership for safeguarding adults work locally. The Board is supported by three sub-groups.

An example of a project to support vulnerable adults whom are regularly involved with the criminal justice system and often health and other partners is the Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM) project. This is a joint funded initiative that has created significant cost savings and also reduced anti social behaviour considerably by those involved in the project through dedicated case work in non-traditional settings. In 2012 evaluation was carried out of the project.

Criminal Justice Board

Cambridgeshire CJA has retained a Criminal Justice Board as a strategic chief officer group to co-ordinate activity between the criminal justice agencies. There is performance and secretariat support bought in from Hertfordshire CJB. The board is chaired by the Chief Constable with the Head of Victim Support as Deputy Chair. The board meets bi-monthly. It has a small subgroup structure with a Delivery Group, Victim and Witness Group and a new Offender Group.

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014

The Delivery Group is chaired by the Assistant Chief Constable and is concerned with criminal justice processes such as warrant execution, electronic file building, video links, proceeds of crime and operational work where multi agency relationships are key.

The Victim and Witness Group is chaired by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner CEX and is leading work to locally commission the majority of emotional and practical support services for local victims of crime. The group is also concerned with the support offered to witnesses as they are progressed through the criminal justice system and the implementation of the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime which places duties on statutory agencies to keep victims informed.

The newly formed Offender Group will set out a local vision for working with offenders by the criminal justice and community safety partners. Draft here

Drug and Alcohol Services

Cambridgeshire has a Drug and Alcohol Action Team which is responsible for commissioning substance misuse services. This includes the adult treatment contract, alcohol treatment contract, Drugs Intervention Programme (now rebranded as START) and Prison based substance misuse services (HMP Littlehey and HMP Whitemoor). The DAAT team also incorporates Community Safety and Domestic Violence services.

The Cambridgeshire DAAT commissioned the alcohol contract in late 2013 and a new provider will take up the service provision from April 14. This new provider also holds the contract for adult drug treatment and is the Inclusion Service provided by South Staffordshire and Shropshire NHS Foundation Trust.

In Peterborough, the Safer Peterborough Partnership acts as both the CSP and the DAAT. As a Unitary Authority these arrangements work very well. The SPP commissions young people’s substance misuse, adult alcohol, and adult drug services, delivered by Drinksense and CRI respectively. Substance misuse provision within HMP Peterborough is commissioned by NHS England and delivered by Sodexo Justice Services who hold the main contract for the prison, with the delivery of these services linking closely with local providers and strategic direction.

The strategic priorities for SPP in relation to substance misuse are set out in the city’s Drugs Strategy and Alcohol Strategy.

Domestic Abuse

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014

Services for victims of domestic abuse in Cambridgeshire are provided by Independent Domestic Violence Advocates who are employed by the County. Referrals are made via the Police and other agencies and are routed via the Multi Agency Referral Unit (MARU). There is also a local Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership Group in Cambridgeshire

Services for victims in Peterborough are delivered by Peterborough Women’s Aid and include Independent Domestic Violence Advocates and Domestic Abuse Workers who support medium risk victims. The service has been recently tendered and from 1 st April will include the Independent Sexual Violence Advocates (ISVAs) to provide a comprehensive support service across all levels of risk and need. As with the County, referrals are routed via the MARU. The strategic direction is driven by the SPP Domestic Abuse Strategy and overseen by the Peterborough Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Strategic Board, which has links to both the LSCB and the SAB and reports to the Safer Peterborough Partnership Board.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Probation Trust (CPPT) Probation Officers provide advice on sentencing and victim safety at the Specialist Domestic Violence Court in Peterborough and this has been an important part of its strategy in protecting the victims of domestic violence.

CPPT also provides a Women's Safety Officer (WSO) service that is offered to the victims and current partners of male domestic violence (DV) perpetrators who have received a requirement to attend the Integrated Domestic Abuse Programme (IDAP) or the Domestic Abuse Specified Activity Requirement as part of a community order or a post-custodial licence. Since the start of 2013, the support service for partners of DV perpetrators has also been available to referrals from the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (CAFCASS).

With the introduction of the new domestic violence programme, Building Better Relationships (BBR) in early 2014, Women Safety Officers will become known as Partner Link Workers (PLWs). They will continue to perform the same role, offering clients information about the programme and their partner’s/ex partner’s attendance, carrying out risk assessments, providing safety planning information and signposting. BBR, which is based on the most recent research about achieving effective change in perpetrator behaviour, replaces IDAP in 2014/15.

CPPT manages the delivery of a range of interventions aimed at reducing risk of harm and risk of re-offending to offenders identified as perpetrators of domestic abuse. These include court ordered accredited groupwork programmes to address deficits in offenders’ problem-solving, perspective- taking and emotional self-management skills; treatment requirements to address substance misuse and mental health problems and one to one work to improve victim awareness and victim empathy.

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014

CPPT runs two Specified Activity Requirements (SARs) to extend the range of disposals available to Sentencers. The Stop the Hurt programme which has been developed by Peterborough Relationship Support is being run in Peterborough. This is aimed at male domestic abuse perpetrators who generally present with lower levels of risk and need than those that meet the criteria for IDAP.

CPPT also delivers a one to one programme which was originally developed from IDAP material and is currently being updated in order to reflect the developments in terminology and approach being introduced by BBR. This is a twelve session programme which is focused on raising men’s awareness of their abusive behaviour and teaching them new skills for dealing with conflicts in their relationships without resorting to abusive behaviour. The one to one programme has the added benefit of being suitable for delivery via an Interpreter and is flexible enough to accommodate offenders’ diversity issues such as work or childcare commitments. As it is widely recognised that ensuring victim safety is of paramount importance when engaging domestic violence perpetrators in offence focused work, both of the SARs are supported by Women Safety Officers employed by CPPT and Peterborough Relationship Support.

Multi Agency Referral Unit (MARU)

The MARU started as a means of information sharing and co-ordinating activity between the Cambridgeshire IDVA Service and the Police. It has rapidly expanded to be the single referral point for Children’s Services and now includes Social Care child protection, preventative services, Probation (one FTE ) and the police. Peterborough staff are fully aligned with MARU processes, but are not co-located in the same way county staff are. There is a MARU Board jointly chaired by the police and County Council. The role of the Probation staff is not only to share information on high risk cases but to act quickly proactively to reduce risk. The information sharing at the MARU is at a point of relative maturity and forms a central plank of the operational partnership working across agencies. The strategic work plan is in the pack.

Section Three - Integrated Offender Management

IOM is Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is well established and a formal countywide IOM scheme has been operating since April 2011 covering both the local authority areas of Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council (unitary authority).

IOM governance is provided by the Cambridgeshire Criminal Justice Board (CCJB) through the CCJB IOM Strategic Group. IOM in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is a partnership of many agencies, with the main agencies consisting of police, Probation, drugs services, community safety partnerships and local authorities. The strategic group sets the operating parameters for

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014 the scheme and ensures that despite geographic differences across the area that all districts are operating a common process. Currently the Strategic Group is chaired by police but for the majority of time the scheme has been in existence Probation have taken the role of chair.

Tactical delivery is coordinated by two IOM Reducing Reoffending Groups one for Peterborough and one for Cambridgeshire. These meet bi-monthly and probation representation is a vital part of this process of agreeing delivery and evolving the scheme. The IOM scheme was set up to address issues of offending mainly around Serious Acquisitive Crime and focuses on those committing dwelling burglary and vehicle related crime. Offenders will typically have a prolific offending history and substance misuse issues. There is a relatively stable cohort of 160-180 offenders of both sexes, however the vast majority of the cohort are male. Entry on to the scheme is controlled by scoring an individual against a matrix for both previous offending and intelligence. As the county is diverse, each district will have slightly different weighting on offences to reflect the local CSP priorities i.e. cycle crime is a significant issue in Cambridge and is weighted more highly. There are six districts within the county. There is no separate female scheme as we tailor service deliver to meet individual need.

On a practical level each of the six districts hold a weekly case management meeting where all partners attend and discuss the progress of offenders on the scheme, share information and decide on priority actions for the next week. Once a month this meeting will focus on the risk assessment of the offender and is the meeting where formal acceptance or removal from the scheme is decided. Probation officers attend all these meetings and provide significant input and information sharing at these meetings. These meetings provide the key to giving focused and co-ordinated action around offenders that ensures the success of the IOM scheme.

It is essential that any future service provider continues to attend and provide detailed input to all of the above meetings both at a strategic and tactical level. Probation account for well over a quarter of the work that goes on within the IOM scheme and therefore a future service provider will need to ensure that there is no less service than is already delivered by the current Probation teams. The IOM scheme takes both statutory and non-statutory offenders and Probation take an active role in managing and supporting offenders on the scheme on a daily basis. Due to the varied geographic nature of the county some areas have a number of dedicated IOM Probation Officers whereas in the more rural areas local probation officers integrate this into their normal case load. It is fair to say that the workload for Probation in managing offenders in partnership is significant and that any future provider will need to at least meet the current levels of delivery if IOM is to continue to operate successfully. Probation also currently supports IOM with two dedicated managers and provides a strategic lead for IOM at a more senior level.

Co-location varies across the county due to practical and estate issues however it has always been a desire to further integrate partners by co-

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014 location. At this time however there are no dedicated premises for IOM delivery across the county. The IOM scheme has recently acquired the ECINS web based information sharing system which assists officers from all agencies to share information across the scheme without having to be co-located. There is no specific funding is provided for IOM. Each partner agency commits to the scheme by providing the necessary staffing and resources that are required from within their existing budgets and staffing. It would be expected that any future service provider would continue to provide this service from within their own budget and financing, no financial support is available to assist with this.

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough IOM scheme was evaluated by the College of Policing Stocktake review recently. This is available from the College of Policing or from the Cambridgeshire Police IOM lead. This was very much a snapshot of the scheme rather than an in depth review. An initial performance review of the scheme was undertaken for a six month period from Oct 2012 to March 2013. This report showed excellent evidence of reductions in re-offending and is available from the IOM Strategic Board.

IOM in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough continues to evolve and develop. We are continually looking to bring is new partners to assist in providing services for offenders. As levels of Serious Acquisitive Crime continue to decrease we are constantly reviewing the criteria for acceptance onto the scheme to ensure that we continue to focus on those that do the most harm. We are currently engaged in a mental health pathfinder project funded by the Department of Health where mental health nurses work full time within our IOM teams to support offenders.

It is recognised that IOM has made a significant impact on re-offending and there is desire across partner agencies to increase the scope of IOM to other areas of criminality/offending. Suggested areas for expansion of IOM include violent offenders, domestic violence and chronically excluded adults involved in repeat crime issues. This would lead to a significant expansion of the current work conducted by staff involved in IOM and this would be mirrored in the amount of work that probation/ the future provider will need to deliver. The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough IOM scheme is using innovative techniques such as the voluntary GPS tracking of offenders, and has invested in the ECINS multi agency information sharing system. These initiatives increase the success of the scheme and save staff time, however they require ongoing investment. As part of the IOM partnership it would be expected that any future provider contribute financially towards the running of such successful innovations, and have the ability to support other similar successful and time saving solutions.

IOM is a constantly developing and changing environment. It would be expected that any contract for a future provider of probation services be sufficiently flexible to respond to these changes without the need for lengthy

THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED FOR CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REF 4435 AND SHOULD BE READ WITH THE MAIN RESPONSE DOCUMENT FOI_4435_RES. SEPTEMBER 2014 negotiations and contract changes. IOM is successful as all partners are flexible and recognise the need to meet the needs of offenders and changes in offending patterns and adjust their service accordingly. The rehabilitation providers will need to contribute towards IOM by providing the staff and resources to continue to manage and service the existing IOM cohort (see above). It is expected that they will play a full role in managing offenders and also in the operation of the scheme at both a tactical and strategic level. Staff will be required to act as case managers for individual clients and provide the link to other partners. The new provider will need to access/provide resettlement services and support for IOM clients as well as management support and strategic input to the IOM scheme.

Section 4 Resettlement Prisons & Through the Gate

HM Prison Peterborough has been designated as a resettlement prison under TR and partner agencies see a number of advantages in having a resettlement prison located firmly in the community of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. There are already good working links between prison and community and this will assist in the development of a blueprint for good practice in preparing local prisoners for release and their re-settlement in the community. HMP Peterborough has been involved in the MoJ payment by results pilot and this has allowed for the development of expertise and good practice in resettling prisoners successfully. The One Service has been a critical partner in this work and has been pivotal in the link up of prison and community resources. There would appear to be ample scope to further build on this. Key offender groups in this area of work include: offenders sentenced to under 12 months who will receive supervision and support on release; young adults; women offenders (HMP Peterborough caters for male and female prisoners) and Foreign Nationals.

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Probation Trust (CPPT) has developed partnerships that prioritise support and mentoring for the more vulnerable and needy offender group and would want to work with partners to build on this work in the re-settlement field. This includes a partnership with Sova that provides dedicated mentoring and support for individual offenders through the use of trained volunteer mentors.

Local Context

It is important to understand the CJA and the local challenges which are faced. These include an expanding economic base in Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire which is putting pressure on house prices and affordable homes. The high level of Eastern European migration into the North of the County plus Peterborough is making a new and high demand on services. The diversity of Peterborough is also reflected in the latest census data.
