The Safer Communities Partnership Board was scheduled to receive updates on various community safety initiatives and performance metrics. Discussions were planned to cover the Community Safety Partnership's performance, updates from the Metropolitan Police, and reports on reducing offending and violence against women and girls.

Community Safety Partnership Performance Update

The board was scheduled to review the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) performance for the third quarter (Q3). This update, detailed in the Community Safety Partnership CSP Performance Update Q3 document, would likely include key performance indicators and progress against established targets. An accompanying document, Appendix A - SCPB Dashboard 2025-26 Q3, was also listed for review, suggesting a detailed dashboard presentation of the performance data.

North West BCU Police Update

A verbal report was scheduled from the North West BCU (Basic Command Unit) of the Metropolitan Police. This update would provide the Safer Communities Partnership Board with information directly from the police on their operational activities and community safety efforts within the borough.

Family Services Update: Reducing Offending and VAWG

The board was set to receive a Q3/9-month update from Family Services concerning their work on reducing offending and tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). This discussion was expected to draw from several supporting documents, including Appendix A - Q3 DA and VAWG Report, Appendix C - DA and VAWG, and Appendix E - Q3 Serious Violence Duty. These reports would likely detail strategies, interventions, and outcomes related to these critical areas of community safety.
