Process So as to ensure from as wide a range of partners and stakeholders as possible we undertook an electronic consultation. This took the form of a document which set out the key changes and posed a series of questions to elicit structured responses around those elements of the framework which were open to being influenced (much of the framework having already been set in place through the Commissioning Framework 2015-2017). Consultation responses were then gathered together, analysed and a report was produced for the PCC to consider. The decision record, along with the completed refreshed Commissioning Framework 2016/17, was then placed on the PCC website and the link distributed to partners and stakeholders along with Appendix B. Key points of the consultation The key points from the consultation were: strong support for a full year’s Partnership Locality Fund allocation which will now be provided strong support for Project 360 (proactive short term support for repeat victims of domestic abuse) which we are currently re-procuring strong support for voluntary tags for the Integrated Offender Management (IOM) cohort (enabling voluntarily tagged to use the tag as a reason not to engage with their peers in criminal activity) which will now be provided All responses received are in Appendix B with our associated comments.

immerging issues and for close consultation between the new PCC and CSPs to allow for any shift in priorities. All feedback from Hinckley and Blaby CSP members is clearly and strongly against only awarding 6 months of PLF funding. The CSP feel this change would negatively affect service, resources, outcomes for service users and negatively impact on our delivery of local initiatives that contribute to the PCC Plan. The CSP feel that it is crucial that funding is allocated for the full 12 months. Gradual change in relation to the new PCC’s priorities can then be introduced prior to the 2017-2018 planning year where the new priorities can be fully embedded in to the provision. We are opposed to the 6 month funding proposal for the following reasons: • It is extremely difficult to manage short term funding and change priorities mid-stream • It makes it very difficult for partnerships to plan and secure resources for such a short period particularly where funding may be for officer roles e.g. children’s worker etc. • The current PCC priorities went out to consultation and are supported by partners/stakeholders so these should not dramatically change regardless of a change in personnel. • It is unlikely that our local priorities will change significantly part way through the year to warrant this and only 6 months’ funding is too short to achieve significant outcomes. Local priorities are set annually to fit in with the current annual PLF commissioning framework. • In terms of the new PCC’s priorities – the PLF is about meeting local needs/gaps which we will have identified locally • increased time and associated costs with extra consultation, project planning, bidding etc • other areas of PCC funding will be in place for the full year regardless of personnel change Q2. How do you feel the OPCC can best provide VCS infrastructure support? From looking at the plan the VCS appears to only related to Leicester City for a value of £5’000, I am confident in the belief that OPCC staff plus local CSP staff can support the process through BIK support.
