NCSN Regional Community Safety Conference
The Challenge of Multi-Agency Working - Problem Solving in Partnership
A one day Conference
Date: 14th October 2008
Venue: Norwich City Football Club.
As Neighbourhood Policing becomes increasingly established it is clear that it represents a fundamental shift in the relationships between communities and how they are policed. At the heart of this relationship is effective community engagement leading to tackling the priorities that they identify. Many of the priorities that affect people’s feelings of safety and impact on the quality of life require multi-agency responses, ideally supported by community involvement.

Aims of the Conference
This conference will address how the following questions can be tackled
• What approaches do we need to achieve effective community engagement?
• All agencies cannot participate in all community meetings – how do we ensure that we are all batting for each other, and that subsequent follow up is effective?
• Who is best placed to lead delivery of a multi-agency response?
• How do we ensure that resources are used effectively to tackle the underlying causes of community priorities?
• How do we make sure that responses are sustainable over the medium and long term, as well as satisfying the need for short term action?
• What mechanisms can be used for escalation of problems that cannot be tackled effectively at local level?
