ANNUAL REPORT 1 APRIL 2017 - 31 MARCH 2018
1
INTRODUCTION I
n the past year (2017/18), the Constabulary has continued to face a challenging financial climate, a national shortage of detectives and an increasing and changing demand for policing services. Part of your council tax is used to fund policing and when agreeing what amount should be proposed, I discussed with the Chief Constable what commitments could be made by him in terms of service improvements enabled by proposing an increase of £1 per month for the average band D household. The additional money will protect around 130 police officer posts, and used to finance filling vacancies, invest in new technology and address inflationary cost pressures. It will enable the implementation of a new model of Neighbourhood Policing that will support the six focal pillars of neighbourhood policing as defined by national and local best practice:
∙ Responding to calls
∙ Problem Solving
∙ Offender Management
∙ Engagement; and
∙ Safeguarding
This report reviews the progress I have made between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2018 in carrying out my responsibilities and overseeing delivery against the Police and Crime Plan 2016-21.
2
∙ Investigations.
Policing in its very nature is diverse, as are the many roles that make up the service. I remain wholly committed to better reflecting the communities of Avon and Somerset and in improving the diversity of those who hold roles within the Constabulary. With the right people, who have the passion to keep our communities safe, protect victims and bring offenders to justice, we can ensure our communities remain safe and strong.
SUE MOUNTSTEVENS Your Police & Crime Commissioner (PCC)
For every example of the worst acts of humanity, there are many more acts of courage, selflessness and compassion. Strong communities who support one another and stand together are safer communities.

Performance The number of 999 calls to police has risen by 17% compared to the previous year
The Constabulary have recorded a similar number of crimes this year as the year before
141,525 RECORDED IN 2017/ 18
140,253 RECORDED IN 2016/ 17
This represents an increase of 1%
4
The threats our communities face are growing more complex in their nature and creating greater demand on the police. This demand which often involves vulnerable victims is an aspect of policing which is less visible to local people. If the police fail to effectively tackle this increase in demand and increase in crime, the impact on keeping our communities safe will be substantial. The nature of the crimes recorded show an increase in those where victims are vulnerable and therefore this represents an increase in demand in terms of the levels of support required by the victim and in the complexity of managing the case and reducing the harm posed to victims and by offenders.

The Constabulary needs to deliver a consistently good service so that victims report satisfaction with contact, the way they were treated and the follow-up communication they have received. It also needs to significantly improve its compliance with the Victims Code of Practice.
The Chief Constable and I have agreed that prioritisation of protecting the vulnerable from harm is the most important of the strategic priorities that I have set in the Police and Crime Plan. The Constabulary needs to balance addressing national threats, protecting the vulnerable and delivering the policing service that local people expect. The financial climate makes that particularly challenging, but I am confident that the approach the Constabulary is taking is one that will make the most of opportunities to learn and to improve. 5

CASE STUDIES
PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION (CSE) OPERATION TOPAZ
C
hild Sexual Exploitation (CSE) is a type of child abuse and is often a hidden crime. The abuse has severe long-term impacts on the child physically, emotionally and psychologically. The trauma and disruption to the family can be devastating. The hidden nature of Child Sexual Exploitation requires a different mind-set from most other crimes, and a recognition that the standard model of policing that reacts to crime reports is not fit for purpose for CSE. In 2016 the Constabulary developed, with the involvement of partner agencies, a proactive approach called Operation Topaz, and ran a pilot in Bristol from January to July 2017. The approach is designed to enable improved and earlier identification of victims and suspects and to enable rapid safeguarding, including disruption of suspects.
6
The improved intelligence and risk picture enables rapid and effective actions to be taken, including better use of disruption tactics on suspects as the best means of safeguarding children. In the pilot period, consideration of Civil Orders, such as Child Abduction Warning Notices, Sexual Risk Orders and Sexual Harm Prevention Orders, rose by 337.5% to 35.
174
The approach was proven with
VICTIMS
IDENTIFIED
in the pilot, 72 of whom had not previously been identified as victims of CSE.
This can largely be explained by the new arrangements resulting in a 23% increase in intelligence submissions, combined with the bespoke Topaz Risk Assessment Profile (TRAP) that utilises even low-level information that does not meet standard Intelligence thresholds. Following evaluation of the pilot the Constabulary is now rolling out Operation Topaz Force-wide and is extending the approach to cover Child Criminal Exploitation more broadly, and children at risk of or subject to Human Trafficking.
WORK TOGETHER E FFECTIVELY
W
ith a backdrop of shrinking resources across the public sector, local organisations have had to take a more creative and collaborative approach to the commissioning of services for vulnerable people. The OPCC are no exception to this, and over the past year have worked with a number of key local partners to co-commission a number of innovative services. Specialist support for victims of child sexual exploitation: Working with Barnardo’s, local authorities across Avon and Somerset and Swindon and Wiltshire and the OPCC for Swindon and Wiltshire, the OPCC delivered a very successful Home Office Innovation Fund supported project which saw specialist support delivered to victims of child sexual exploitation across the area. This pilot project came to an end in March 2017 and those involved were faced with a decision about how to ensure this vital support to vulnerable children and young people was maintained. The OPCC took a lead on this piece of work and developed a co-commissioning approach with...

CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION IS HAPPENING All those involved recognised that each Local Authority area had differing needs around child sexual exploitation and as such, a specification was developed which sought to take this into account. The service was configured to provide a mixture of specialist support direct to victims alongside consultation provision for professionals, such as social care staff, who are working with affected children and young people. One area which all partners involved felt was hugely important was to ensure that the voice of service users was reflected throughout the commissioning process. To ensure this was delivered, the OPCC worked alongside an independent consultant, to support and empower a small group of young people who had direct experience of child sexual exploitation to ensure that they were able to influence the process.
8
The young people were involved in all stages of the process from service design right through to tender evaluation. Following a competitive procurement process, Barnardo’s were announced as the successful provider with the new service going live on 1st October 2017.
SUPPORTING VICTIMS OF RAPE & SEXUAL ASSAULT
T
he OPCC working with NHS England and OPCCs and police forces across the South West (Devon and Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire) collaborated on the recommissioning of Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs). This service supports both the health and criminal justice (forensic) needs of victims of sexual assault and as such requires joint-working between the relevant commissioners. Before this project, each SARC was commissioned locally and a regional review of these services in the autumn of 2016 found divergence from the national service specification and consequently an inequality of provision for victims and survivors of sexual assault. Against a backdrop of increasing demand for sexual assault services it was agreed that this was an important area for focus across the region. Through a long and detailed engagement process, a regional model was agreed based on the requirements of the national service specification for SARCs and underpinned by the following principles to maximise the outcomes for local people who may need to use these services: Are victim/survivor focused Provide equality of access across the region
Offer extended opening times Meet national quality and clinical standards Have caring, skilled and well-supported staff Offer better access to self-referrals
ÂŁ
Are based on fair and equitable funding Work in partnership with other sexual violence services, including counselling, sexual health and the criminal justice system (where appropriate).
From October 2018 when the new contracts commence, there will be two regional centres of excellence, based in Exeter and Bristol. They will provide forensic and medical examinations and support to both adults and children. There will also be four adult SARCs, offering services to people aged 16 years and above based in Truro, Plymouth, Gloucester and Swindon. The new arrangements will support greater consistency, practice, service delivery, performance and ultimately improved care and support for local people who may need to use a SARC. As a result of this exercise, SARC provision will be improved for survivors both in Avon and Somerset and the wider region which was only made possible through the proactive collaboration between regional forces and OPCCs under the stewardship of NHS England and the NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit.
This approach was recognised nationally with the project winning the GO Procurement Team of the Year Award (Health and Social Care Organisations) at a ceremony in April 2018. www.goawards.co.uk/national/winners
As can be seen from these examples, the OPCC has been able to deliver a range of effective, innovative and in the case of the SARC, award winning processes which would not have been possible without strong partnership and collaborative approaches. The services which have come out of this work represent better value for the residents of Avon and Somerset and enhanced support for vulnerable victims and perpetrators of crime. 9
ADVICE & SUPPORT AT CUSTODY & COURT Over the past couple of years a number of services have been developed to support vulnerable detainees who are brought into police custody. Two of these services are AIRS (arrest intervention referral service) commissioned by the OPCC to support people with substance misuse issues and Liaison and Diversion commissioned by NHS England to support detainees with mental health issues or those with learning disabilities. Recognising the overlap between the people who may come into contact with these services, the OPCC and NHS England came together to develop a single integrated service for vulnerable people in custody and beyond.
nder evaluation.
The new service was designed to ensure people with mental health issues, learning disabilities and substance misuse issues will receive an assessment to identify any support needs they might have and to deliver referrals into appropriate services to ensure ongoing support for all vulnerabilities.
The service also provides intervention ‘on the spot’ to the service user; providing them with information and advice. The service was commissioned to deliver across the three custody suites in Avon and Somerset, across the Court provision in the area and to offer assessments to individuals subject to the voluntary attender’s process.
The service which covers all ages includes a dedicated pathway for women.
10
Both commissioners were keen to ensure the voice of lived experience was heard throughout the process to ensure the needs of service users were properly understood and reflected in the service specification. A number of individuals were identified to support this and were involved in the evaluation of tenders and the mobilisation of the new service post award. Following a competitive procurement process, Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust in partnership with Somerset Partnership and the Nelson’s Trust were announced as the successful providers with the new service, which will be known as ASCC (Advice and Support for Custody and Courts) which went live on 1st April 2018. The co-commissioning approach between the OPCC and NHS England is the first of its kind for this type of service and demonstrates the innovative approach and best value which can be achieved when budgets are brought together.
Also a Drugs Education Programme will be rolled out across Avon and Somerset.

Grants and Commissioning
A
range of community safety projects and services in 2017-18 have been allocated just over £4 million of my budget to support the delivery of the Police and Crime Plan. These have included grants to support the mental health control room triage, victim support services including advocacy, support related to abuse and exploitation, restorative justice and substance misuse support services as well as local community safety initiatives. In addition, the Commissioner’s Community Action Fund, administered by the Police Community Trust, supported voluntary and community sector projects by awarding...
