Agreeing Priorities

Your Partnership will need to meet and discuss the key findings of the Audit. It will then need to consider what it is going to do about the identified problems.

Each of the key partners, including the police, local authority, fire service probation and health authority will be devising their own strategic plans with objectives and targets. Some of these targets will have been guided by national strategies and others will be planned in response to locally identified needs.

Drafting the Partnership's response to alcohol-related crime and disorder problems should take account of individual agencies' own service objectives. Policing plan objectives for reductions in violence and disorder, health authority plans to reduce alcohol-related injuries, and strategies which incorporate or complement the objectives of key partners, enabling them to work in partnership to achieve their own goals, are more likely to succeed.
