Assessing impact 1:
Partnership effectiveness
Partnerships concerned with
drug related offending and supply should try to assess how successful,
as a whole they have been in working effectively together. The Home
Office has developed a self-assessment framework for CDRP/DATs which
is a useful tool to aid this process. Guidance and other information
is available on the crime reduction website under
http://www.crimereduction.gov.uk/selfassessment/
A self-assessment should
include consideration of such factors as:
-
The seniority of partnership
representatives
-
The conduct of meetings and
the reaching of agreed decisions
-
The engagement and compliance
of a range of key partners
-
The commitment of resources
-
The degree of engagement of
the general public via consultation
-
The support staff available
to the partnership.
