Crime
& Disorder Reduction Partnerships
The Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships
(CDRPs) are responsible for planning strategic
priorities in community safety at a local level
(by district/borough council area). However, following
a review of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, in
the 2004 white paper “Building Communities,
Beating Crime”, CDRPs are to merge at Basic
Command Unit (BCU) level with regard to
their strategic functions, whilst retaining tactical
lead at existing local areas. This includes crime,
anti-social behaviour and substance misuse. They
work alongside other key partnerships in Nottinghamshire
including Nottinghamshire County DAAT. CDRPs are
the DAAT's foremost partner at a strategic level,
and we will be working closely with them to ensure
that we have joint priorities in community safety.
Both DAAT and CDRP’s are constitutionally
linked and the excellent working relationship
between them is testament to that link.

Local
Area Agreements
The Government conceived that Local Area Agreement
(LAA) will:
• Be a catalyst to support improved local
delivery by encouraging closer working, greater
flexibility, increased devolution of responsibility
and integrated performance management.
• Bring about pooled area based funding
to reduce bureaucracy and increase efficiency
and effectiveness of partnerships and service
providers.
• Draw together and address national and
local priorities within a simple single delivery
model that targets activities and reduces fragmentation.
Nottinghamshire County DAAT is represented on
the LAA Management Group and is actively engaged
in developing the four LAA blocks. We are leading
on the stretch target relating to retaining Prolific
and Other Priority Offenders in treatment in the
Safer and Stronger block. We are also leading
on an alcohol-related reduction target in the
Healthier Communities and Older People block,
and in the Children and Young People’s block
we are leading on drugs and alcohol treatment
and education targets. The Economic Development
and Enterprise block will also be a consideration
for future developments in
policy.
Local Strategic
Partnerships
Local Strategic Partnerships are the ‘partnership
of partnerships’. They ensure that ‘the
lines of responsibility between partners and partnerships
are clearly drawn and that duplication is avoided’.
LSPs bring together the public, private, business,
community and voluntary sectors to co-ordinate
and tackle key issues for local people. Working
with the
LAA, the LSPs have a key role to sustain strategic
direction and will control operational delivery
of strategic outcomes of LAA’s. As such,
the drugs and alcohol agenda is at the core of
the LSP agenda.
Nottinghamshire
County Children and Young Peoples Strategic Partnership
(CYPSP)
The CYPSP is the single overarching strategic
plan to help partner agencies work together to
improve outcomes for children and young people,
0-19 years, across Nottinghamshire County. It
is supported by further strategic, partnership,
business and agency plans, including the Nottinghamshire
County DAAT Young People's Action Plan. Ultimate
responsibility for implementing the CYPSP lies
with the CYPSP and developing local Children's
Trusts / Children's Services arrangements |
