Drawing up a local strategy: developing a balanced programme
It is important that your Crime & Disorder Partnership tackle arson problems through
a balanced package of measures that combines short and long term measures and action
across a range of fronts. This will help ensure that sustainable improvements are
achieved.
As well as interventions and initiatives that the partnership and partners will
take forward, there may well be opportunities to mobilise others to take supporting
action. The 'who can help' page highlights many groups with an interest.
Plotting what initiatives are planned or in progress will help you to double-check
that your programme contains that balance. The partnership can use short-term, ‘quick
win’ initiatives to test viability and impact. However, ‘quick wins’ should always
be incorporated into the Partnership’s overall objectives and long-term programme
for tackling arson problems. Successful ‘quick wins’ can build credibility for the
partnership and can lever in additional or new funding for future programmes.
