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 anti-social
behaviour 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 anti-social behaviour problems should take
account of individual agencies' own service objectives, (e.g. policing plan objectives
for reductions in disorder or fire service objectives for reducing hoax calls). 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. This will
promote a shared understanding of anti-social behaviour problems and provide useful
information for developing and integrating other plans.
Development of other local plans
Although the primary purpose of the audit is to assist in developing strategies
to tackle anti-social behaviour, it can also provide useful information for developing.
Local Policing Plans
Youth Justice Plans
Children’s Services Plan
Local Transport Plan
Social Inclusion Partnership Plans (e.g. SRBs, New Deal for Communities, Health
& Education Action Zone Plans)
Health Improvement Plan
Housing Strategies
Community Care Plan
Drug Action Plan
Probation Service Business Plan
Internal Corporate & Business Plans

Key partners should also be encouraged to incorporate the partnership's goals in
relation to tackling anti-social behaviour into their own service plans, taking account
of the audit findings for their service. They will then be in a better position to
identify their own specific contribution to the work of the partnership. This will
assist Crime & Disorder Partnerships in complying with s17 of the Crime & Disorder
Act, which requires partner agencies to review the community safety implications of
their work.
It is, therefore incumbent on each agency to come to a partnership or inter-agency
task group meeting outlining:
The Group as a whole can then consider the resulting agenda, looking at
Areas of agreement & disagreement
What is known about effective practice in tackling anti-social behaviour
Agree priorities for action
After the meeting individual partners will need to endorse the agreed priorities.
The agreed priorities should be specific to anti-social behaviour.
