Decision details
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The Community Safety Partnership sits within
the context of ‘place’ as part of the Department of
Health and Social Care’s White Paper - Integration and
innovation: working together to improve health and social care for
all.
Since its inception the Northeast Essex Health and Wellbeing
Alliance has been working collaboratively at the place level to
better understand the health and social care needs of its local
population this includes working together at place in the Community
Safety Partnership arena.
We know that crime and community safety issues within our
population are underpinned by the wider social determinants of
health and care, which are heavily influenced by the broad social
and economic circumstances into which people are born, live, work
and grow old. This can often mean that poorer individuals
experiencing worse environments to live and work than people who
are better off. Similarly, children growing up in more deprived
communities often suffer disadvantages throughout their lives, from
educational attainment through to employment prospects, which can
affect their physical and mental wellbeing and their likelihood of
being involved in crime and disorder and or risk-taking actions in
relation to drug and alcohol.
The North East Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance has committed
funding to support the continued efforts with Tendring across place
and to support the work of the Community Safety Partnership.
Suffolk and North East Essex ICB (SNEE ICB) agree to transfer a
non-recurrent contribution of £35k to support the ongoing
work of these Community Safety Partnership Board until 2025.
Areas of focus can include supporting residents at risk of:
•Domestic and sexual violence

dependence
•The safety of the night - time economy
•Modern slavery
Decision:

Suffolk and North East Essex ICB (SNEE ICB) to deliver agreed
projects.
Provide Suffolk and North East Essex ICB (SNEE ICB) with a biannual
report on the spending plans for the £35K per year until end
