Home Office Good Practice Seminars
Partnership Working Seminar
Partnership Business Model (PBM)

Adam Beaney, Home Office Partnership Support Team
Key points of the presentation
-
The Partnership Business Model (PBM) is an approach to problem solving and partnership working to enable better decision making
-
PBM intends to build on what already exists rather than replacing current systems
-
PBM consists of:
- an agreed data quality standard (analytical tools package),
- minimum standards for problem solving,
- a secure and standardised process for using and sharing information (data sharing and storage facilities),
- a way for Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) to access the latest information on crime reduction (good practice database), and
- a systematic method for analysing and reducing certain types of crime and disorder (crime reduction schemas and problems solving methods). -
PBM will be coordinated by the Home Office and implemented and managed by the Regions, with CDRPs adopting standards through guidance and IT provision.
-
The IT tools provided will be configured to work with existing systems
-
Middlesbrough is the test bed site; other pilot sites are being recruited to a set of assessment criteria.
