evacuation process.

Important Points
• As the bidding is available for Voluntary, Community and
Social Enterprise organisations only this workshop is aimed at
those organisations.
• The workshop will last no longer than 1.5 Hours and there will
be time for questions.
Changes to the process this
year
• As there are two commissioning intentions this year, both
which link to different parts of the plan, the process has been
amended slightly from last year.
• There are now 2 Separate sets of Application and Guidance
Forms which are intention specific.
• Please ensure that you have selected and completed the
correct set of forms and have thoroughly read the relevant
guidance notes.
• Please note that unlike last year a blank copy of the contract
will be issued along with the Guidance Notes. Please read and
consider your willingness to commit to this before applying as
there will not be room in the timeline to debate the contract
after applicants are informed of decisions.

Purpose of this Workshop
• Clarification on application process
• Provide overview of how threat and risk was assessed and
how commissioning intentions were agreed
• Expert Input
• Opportunity for face to face discussion and queries
Background and Context
• The PCC is responsible for understanding the dynamic
relationship between policing and local partner activity.
• Commissioning is deciding how to use the total resource
available in order to improve outcomes.
• The Commissioning Framework sets out how the PCC intends
to align the commissioning budget with the key themes and
strategic priorities in the Police and Crime Plan.
The Commissioning
Framework
• The draft Commissioning Framework for 2015/17 was issued
for consultation in Summer 2014 and agreed in August 2014.
It covers the period for 1st April 2015 onwards.
• All feedback received was considered and responded to is
available on the website.
PCC Grant Purpose
• Provide initiatives that closely align to the objectives of the
plan
• Allocate funds based on merit
• Provide opportunities for innovation
• Ensure that the assessment process is transparent and fair
Data Sources
Data sources used in assessing threat and risk to inform the PCC
Commissioning Framework:
• Leicestershire Police Strategic Assessment
• Neighbourhood Priorities
• Consultation – Surveys
• Victim Satisfaction
• Evidence Based Policing
• Social Return on Investment – evidence
• Results analysis
Evidence based service provision is pivotal to reducing long term
demand and increasing the effectiveness of services.
Why the two commissioning
intentions?
• Many of the ways in which the commissioning intentions
will be delivered in 2015/17 have already been
determined, subject to satisfactory performance and the
availability of funding.
• Intentions were therefore chosen based on the threat and
risk identified in Leicestershire Police’s Strategic Assessment
which was then cross referenced to those commissioning
intentions which are not addressed through other PCC
funding streams to determine the chosen intentions and
targeted areas.

CI011: Interventions which increase the reporting of:
Domestic abuse
Serious sexual assault
Hate crime
As explained in the guidance notes, the focus is on increasing
the reporting in these frequently underreported areas of crime.
While the PCC Grant has previously funded general cope and
recover services for victims of these crime areas that is not the
purpose of this intention.
CI011- Scope
• Domestic Abuse:
‘Any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive,
threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged
16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family
members regardless of gender or sexuality. The abuse can
encompass, but is not limited to: psychological, physical,
sexual, financial or emotional abuse.’
-The cross-government definition of domestic violence and abuse,
https://www.gov.uk/domestic-violence-and-abuse
CI011-Scope
• Serious Sexual Assault
The Latest Home Office Counting Rules (July 2014) have
removed the categorisation that some Sexual Offences were
deemed “Serious” whilst others weren’t.
Sexual Offences are now sub-categorised as :
• Rape
• Other Sexual Offences.
Previously, some offences were deemed as being less serious,
examples of these were voyeurism, exposure, intent to commit
an act (without actually committing it), incitement to commit,
abuse of trust, bestiality, necrophilia, grooming etc.
CI011- Scope
• Hate Crime:
‘Crimes committed against someone because of their disability,
gender-identity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation’
-https://www.gov.uk/report-hate-crime
‘Hate crime’ is any notifiable offence committed against a
person or property that is motivated by hostility towards
someone based on their disability, race, religion, genderidentity or sexual orientation, whether perceived to be so by
the victim or any other person’

Messages from the OPCC
• Make the initiative summary concise and to the point

knowledge
• Clearly identify your target group/audience
• Consider and explain how you would define and measure
outcomes
• Thoroughly read and utilise the guidance notes.
Completing the form:
Performance
• Important to set out how you will be able to demonstrate and
evidence your initiative is working
• Shows the difference the initiative is/will make
• The Guidance notes give information on how performance of
the outputs in your initiative can be measured,
• These will be specific to your initiative – some helpful
explanations and definitions are:
What is an Outcome?
An outcome is the end product of inputs and processes
What do we want to end up with?
For example:
‘A condition of well-being for children, adults, families and
communities’
Other Common Definitions
Outcome - the end product of inputs and processes
Input - something put into a system or used to achieve output or a
result
Output - an amount produced by a process
Measure - an assessment of a dimension against a standard
Indicator - a measure which helps quantify the achievement of an
outcome
Points to note
• There is no appeals process, therefore all decisions by the PCC
are final
• Transfer of funds will take place when an invoice is received
that quotes the OPCC’s purchase order number.
• In the case of forms received with clear errors or missing
sections, if the form is received prior to or on 20/10/14 the
OPCC will make very effort to contact you and highlight the
error. For applications received after this date we will not be
able to contact any bidders regarding completion errors.
• Please note this only applies to ‘completion errors’ e.g. a
question left blank, a page missing, the incorrect form filled in
etc.- There will be no help or comment given on the content
of the bid at any stage.
