Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts
(PCSC) Act 2022 places a duty on specified authorities to
collaborate to prevent and tackle serious violence in their local
area. It requires them to work together, using existing
partnerships where possible, to share information and take
effective coordinated action with their local communities.
Specified authorities have until 31st January 2024 to undertake a
Strategic Needs Assessment (SNA) of serious violence issues in
their areas and develop a plan to address identified issues in that
assessment. Thereafter, these plans must be reviewed and refreshed
annually.
In Stockport, this work is being undertaken through the One
Stockport Safety Partnership (OSSP).
This report presents the draft SNA, which members are asked to note
and seeks members' agreement for a set of actions set out in the
SNA's Executive Summary to be used as the basis from which to
develop OSSP's Serious Violence Plan for 2024/25.
