Important Points
• As the bidding is available for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations only this workshop is aimed at those organisations.
• The workshop will last no longer than 1.5 Hours and there will be time for questions.
Changes to the process this year• As there are two commissioning intentions this year, both
which link to different parts of the plan, the process has been amended slightly from last year.
• There are now 2 Separate sets of Application and Guidance Forms which are intention specific.
• Please ensure that you have selected and completed the correct set of forms and have thoroughly read the relevant guidance notes.
• Please note that unlike last year a blank copy of the contract will be issued along with the Guidance Notes. Please read and consider your willingness to commit to this before applying as there will not be room in the timeline to debate the contract after applicants are informed of decisions.

Purpose of this Workshop
• Clarification on application process• Provide overview of how threat and risk was assessed and
how commissioning intentions were agreed • Expert Input• Opportunity for face to face discussion and queries
Background and Context
• The PCC is responsible for understanding the dynamic relationship between policing and local partner activity.
• Commissioning is deciding how to use the total resource available in order to improve outcomes.
• The Commissioning Framework sets out how the PCC intends to align the commissioning budget with the key themes and strategic priorities in the Police and Crime Plan.
The Commissioning Framework
• The draft Commissioning Framework for 2015/17 was issued for consultation in Summer 2014 and agreed in August 2014. It covers the period for 1st April 2015 onwards.
• All feedback received was considered and responded to is available on the website.
PCC Grant Purpose
• Provide initiatives that closely align to the objectives of the plan
• Allocate funds based on merit• Provide opportunities for innovation• Ensure that the assessment process is transparent and fair
Data Sources
Data sources used in assessing threat and risk to inform the PCC Commissioning Framework: • Leicestershire Police Strategic Assessment • Neighbourhood Priorities• Consultation – Surveys• Victim Satisfaction • Evidence Based Policing • Social Return on Investment – evidence • Results analysis Evidence based service provision is pivotal to reducing long term demand and increasing the effectiveness of services.
Why the two commissioning intentions?
• Many of the ways in which the commissioning intentions will be delivered in 2015/17 have already been determined, subject to satisfactory performance and the availability of funding.
• Intentions were therefore chosen based on the threat and risk identified in Leicestershire Police’s Strategic Assessment which was then cross referenced to those commissioning intentions which are not addressed through other PCC funding streams to determine the chosen intentions and targeted areas.
C010 - Interventions that pro-actively reduce anti-social behaviour in designated areas
Location, Location, Location• When completing your form please indicate using the tick
boxes provide which location(s) your initiative takes place in.• Along with the guidance notes, boundary maps are available
to clarify the chosen locations.• These locations have been chosen as there is already an
established/known need there. Applications must therefore focus on Evidencing how your initiative will meet this need. Please note this differs from last year when applicants were asked to evidence the need and how they would meet it.
C010- ScopeWhat is Anti Social Behaviour (ASB)?‘Engaging in or threatening to engage in conduct causing or likely to cause a nuisance or annoyance to persons engaged in lawful activities’. - Housing Act (1996)
‘Acting in a manner that is causing or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as the perpetrator’ – Crime and Disorder Act (1998)
‘ASB therefore includes a variety of behaviour covering a whole complex of selfish and unacceptable activity that can blight the quality of life of a particular individual, group or community but which falls short of being notifiable crimes’ – National Incident Recording Standards (2011)
C010 - Scope• The Home Office White Paper, ‘Putting Victims First, More
Effective Responses to Anti-Social Behaviour’. It states that “anti-social behaviour is a local problem that looks and feels different in every area and to every victim.”
• In summary, Anti-social behaviour can no longer be defined by behaviour descriptors as behaviours can affect different individuals in different ways. Actions that may seriously distress one individual may not affect or bother another individual at all.
