Decision 1 - We have received notification
from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner that the Safer
Stronger Doncaster Partnership will receive a Community Safety
Grant of £169k, which is allocated every year to fund
initiatives and projects agreed by the partnership and linked to
Partnership priorities.
The Community Safety service within DMBC administer the grant
funding on behalf of the partnership, gaining approval from the
OPCC, submitting quarterly financial returns and monitoring
underspends. The use of underspends from the grant requires
approval from the OPCC and any unspent funds have to be returned in
line with the terms of the grant from Central Government.
At this stage the SSDP have identified a number of projects, linked
to our community safety priorities, which will be funded going
forward. At least two of these initiatives are projects which
commenced last year and are linked to the ambition of the
partnership to improve our response to Domestic Abuse and to
improve data analysis and performance monitoring by the SSDP.
Decision 2
The second decision relates to the approval to use a further award
of grant funding from the OPCC. This grant is slightly different in
that it is specifically to be used to fund Domestic Abuse services
in Doncaster and is allocated to each local authority area within
the Councty.
