3. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS COMMUNITY SAFETY – S USANNAH H ANCOCK, PCC 3

4. Domestic Abuse Basildon & Braintree Domestic Abuse pilot went live in August - 213 victims of domestic abuse have been supported as of end of Oct ‘13, helping to keep them free from further abuse. Phase 1 of the Joint Domestic Abuse triage team (JDATT) went live in September by Essex Police and ECC Children’s Social Care, which has led to more timely and better informed risk assessments Securing agreement in principle from EHoG and Refuge providers to develop key principles identified in Safer Accommodation proposal paper. Benefits achieved so far? Making a conservative assumption that our intervention will lead to just under half of the supported victims becoming free from abuse this will, for example, reduce police intervention and GP visits, which will result in overall benefits of £56,000 per year in respect of the 213 victims being supported so far. So until 2019/20 this means a saving of £336,000 relating to victims supported so far... The aim is to support 600 victims in the first 12 months and an additional 5400 victims over the next 3 years to achieve the estimated benefits of £6.2m. Investment was secured for the first year but investment for the subsequent years will be required. 4

6. Re-offending New Ways of Working proposal has been agreed with DWP and will be initially piloted in Brentwood and Southend for 3 months before wider rollout across Essex A peer mentoring programme to train ex-offenders has been successfully commissioned - 30 peer mentors trained, 4 of whom will soon be employed by Essex Probation as offender support workers A Reducing Reoffending Board together with Joint Commissioning Board Essex Offender Accommodation Forum has been set-up and have begun to identify opportunities where savings may be made and services improved. Funding for expansion of link workers for Integrated Offender Management (IOM) scheme has been secured for this FY, which enable us expand the support provided offenders – contract for additional three link workers under negotiation Funding for data analyst to develop a performance framework for IOM scheme has been provided by the PCC – recruitment underway. Benefits delivered so far? The benefits are not due to be delivered prior to 2015/16. With Transforming Rehabilitation programme underway more clarity will be required how the 1% reduction year on year will be achieved. 6

11. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS ECONOMIC GROWTH – P ETER C OOK, ECC 11

12. Skills for Growth Established the employer led Employment and Skills Board (ESB) with a highly credible line up of members. Wider launch event with employers in December Evidence base near completion that is establishing the skills needs of the Greater Essex economy, both now and in the future. Validated by industry peer review and already influencing skills provision and funding decisions. Skills Investment Fund being established to give local partners the ability to commission training provision according to local industry need, pump primed by ECC, but with the longer term aim of being supported through the Single Local Growth Fund (SLGF), ESF, private sector match and eventually mainstream funding Essex nominated to lead on European Social Fund (ESF) plans on behalf of SELEP, plans validated by the Employment and Skills Board On-line portal being developed to encourage business to articulate it’s skills requirements and enable training providers to respond to them Considerable involvement and collaboration of local partners in the overall approach, sparked by the Community Budgets process Despite intensive engagement the asks of government, particularly around devolution of skills funding, have not been granted and as a result the ESB will need to explore options for how we achieve benefits within current constraints. Benefits delivered so far? Estimated (non-cashable) benefits of £151m until 2019/20 were based on the assumption of getting the commitment on governance asks. This has not been forthcoming and so these more easily understood benefits will not be secured in the manner originally intended. Significant benefits will be realised through all of the above but we will only be able to be quantify once we are in the position of more fully understanding what the evidence base is telling us, determining more precisely how the Skills Investment Fund might best be used against this, “proving the concept” of the on-line portal and being certain of the actual influence we have locally over SLGF and ESF. 12

14. Strengthening Communities 4 Community Builder trial areas launched (Southend, Harlow, Tendering & Braintree). The first two quarterly network meetings were successfully held in August and November. Additional Community Builders being led by Essex County Fire & Rescue and Basildon Council Timebanking (volunteering scheme) rollout across North and West Essex by Colchester CVS – increased volunteering hours VCS strategy developed with partners and now at public consultation Community Resilience Fund in development Essex citizens trained on Asset Based Community Development as part of the WECB Volunteering research into young people completed – outcome will feed in the development of the proposals within the Strengthening Communities business case. Benefits delivered so far? The proposal document approved in March 2013 didn’t specify financial benefits. The current community builder trials and time banking rollout will provide first performance data over the next 12 months – first data will feed into the full business case due in March/April 2014. 14
