The Community Safety Partnership Board was scheduled to consider a range of topics related to community safety, including the council's drug and alcohol strategy, and updates on various initiatives. Several items were marked as restricted, indicating they were likely to involve sensitive or confidential information.

Drug and Alcohol Strategy

The board was scheduled to review the council's comprehensive strategy for addressing drug and alcohol issues within the community. This would have involved examining the effectiveness of current approaches and potential future developments in tackling substance misuse.

FFFP Families First

The FFFP Families First initiative was scheduled to be discussed. This programme aims to provide support to families, and its inclusion on the agenda suggests it plays a role in the broader community safety framework.

Restricted Items

Several items on the agenda were marked as restricted, meaning details about their content were not publicly available. These included:

• Implementation of the Sentencing Act 2026: This would have involved a discussion on how the provisions of the Sentencing Act 2026 were being implemented locally. The Sentencing Act 2026 is legislation that governs the penalties and sentences that courts can impose for criminal offences.
• Serious Violence Needs Assessment: The board was scheduled to review a detailed assessment of serious violence within the borough. Such assessments are crucial for understanding the nature and extent of violence and for informing targeted interventions.
• DARDR Updates: Updates on DARDR were scheduled. The specific meaning of DARDR is not detailed in the agenda, but it is likely an acronym for a specific project or initiative related to community safety or enforcement.
• Prevent Update: A report on the Prevent initiative was scheduled. Prevent is a government strategy aimed at safeguarding individuals from radicalisation and extremism.

Forward Plan and Subgroup Updates

The board was also scheduled to consider its forward plan, outlining future activities and priorities. This would have included updates from various subgroups, such as the SAB and SCP Board Update, the CBO Panel, and discussions on Violence Against Women and Girls. A report from the Safeguarding Boards was also listed.

The meeting was scheduled to conclude with a session for any other business and the confirmation of the date for the next meeting, which was set for Wednesday 2 December 2026. Councillor Ghani was scheduled to chair the meeting.
