  8. Opportunities for collective leadership • Need to maximise collective leadership between PCC, community safety, justice, health and other partners, to ensure the needs of the public are met • Freedom to commission services from other bodies • Opportunities for broader collaboration on joint priorities, across reform agendas e.g. health reforms and troubled families work • PCC will take a strategic overview across local partnerships, seeking ways to drive and coordinate action across their area

  9. Legislative framework PCP oversight

  10. Legislative framework – duties to co-operate • Legislation provides a flexible framework for co-operation • Intention is to enable collective local leadership on crime and justice • Deliberately broad and flexible, to allow local flexibility and innovation Police Probation

  11. Police and Crime Panels • Will be established in each force area to provide regular, public scrutiny of the PCC. • Will be locally determined. • Under a duty to support, as well as challenge, the PCC. • They do not replace the police authority. That is the role of the police and crime commissioner • They are not a super-partnership. Although strong local partnership working will be vital.

  12. How ready are local areas? Lessons learnt: Deep Dive Autumn 2011 • Partnership the need for the right people to engage at the right level early, in order to ensure local strategic discussion and alignment with PCC • Scrutiny some areas are placing a lot of emphasis on PCP, but Ministers are clear that this is intended as light-touch scrutiny body only • Simplification PCCs provide an opportunity to consider the current partnership landscape and what might be done locally to simplify this. • Localism fit between national and local services presents challenges. • Information We are providing appropriate advice and guidance on the framework but Ministers want to maximise local flexibility • Clarity HO messaging coordinated through PCC bulletin, website and inbox - pccpartnersenquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

  13. What are the Home Office doing? The Home Office will be producing: • secondary legislation • a statement for partners, setting out the legislative framework and the commissioning role of PCCs [completed] • tailored information for specific audiences e.g. elected members [spring] • guidance explaining the legislation around police and crime panels [spring] • induction pack for incoming PCCs [summer] • evidence to inform PCCs of benefits of approaches in preventing crime and reducing re-offending [summer] All of this work is being overseen by a Ministerial Transition Board, ensuring the fit with other reform programmes
