Issue - meetings

            The Board received a presentation on the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Victim and Witness Service from Andrew Bailey, ASB Victim and Witness Support Officer/NRP Coordinator. The Service was part of the work of the Safer Halton Partnership Community Safety Team and was designed to deliver independent and confidential support to residents aged over 10 years who were experiencing nuisance and/or anti-social behavior in Halton.

            The presentation provided an outline of the Service milestones achieved, types of nuisance behaviour and the level of support to those who were experiencing it, support plans and the future scope of the service and its continued development.

            Members noted that the Service had provided support to a thousand victims and their families and in 2009 had received acclaim for best practice in Parliament.

            RESOLVED: That the presentation be noted.
