Introduction

Successful delivery of the partnership’s priorities is a crucial aspect of the way in which an effective partnership operates. An effective partnership should be able to sustain a high quality of delivery and demonstrate that they have a clear strategy for continued improvement. An effective partnership will consider the way in which they deliver their activities to tackle crime and disorder, the quality and outcomes of implementing their plans, the way in which they have engaged with their communities and how they will support and challenge performance across the partnership. There should be a process for monitoring progress and planning for improvement and a mechanism for reporting on that progress to their stakeholders. Evaluation forms a key component of this process: without an understanding of the impact of any intervention, partnerships will be limited in their ability to repeat their successes or improve delivery of outcomes.

This chapter sets out ways in which you might further improve your delivery processes. We want your efforts to be visibly successful to ensure that communities and partners alike understand and value the benefits of partnership working. We want partnerships to have robust delivery mechanisms to embed successful implementation of their plans. This section sets out how you might go about structuring your resources to aid implementation, how to adopt a problem-solving approach to community safety, and how to evaluate the impact of your work.

At the end of this chapter you should be able to:

• Consider how best to structure delivery locally.
• Develop and agree a local approach to problem-solving and tasking and coordination to implement agreed priorities.
• Develop a performance management framework to monitor and challenge progress.
• Evaluate overall effectiveness of delivery work and learn from emerging good practice.
• Understand how to demonstrate Effective and Responsive Delivery Structures and other relevant Hallmarks.
• Understand the skills and knowledge that will underpin this.
