Kent Probation is committed to reducing reoffending and protecting the public. As one of the statutory bodies within the CSP framework we, alongside other partners, contribute to the delivery of the key priorities outlined within the Kent and Medway Strategic Plan. The Kent and Medway Strategic Plan for Reducing Reoffending coordinates focus around several Multi-Agency Priority Groups for e.g. Integrated Offender Management Cohort, Young People, Women Offenders and Troubled Families. There are also currently four Multi -Agency Priority Interventions within the plan providing detail around the Offender Need in these areas, as well as the current provision and what goals have been identified for the year to address issues and improve services for offenders for each intervention which are : Accommodation, Education and Employment, Substance Misuse, and Mental and Physical Health. Over the last year, the NI 18 Reducing Reoffending data has evidenced significant reductions in further reoffending by those individuals subject to Probation involvement and we will continue to focus our efforts, with partners, on driving reoffending down.

Integrated Offender Management Highlight Report IOM is a multi agency process for identifying those offenders who have or are causing harm to communities through their criminal and/or anti social behaviour. The explicit aim of this approach is reducing re-offending through the pooling of multi agency expertise and resources.
Key Objectives To develop and deliver IOM, as the partnership process for managing those individuals, both adult and young people, who are or have been causing harm in their communities through criminal or anti social behaviour. IOM will focus on those offenders who will benefit from a co-ordinated multi-agency approach.
Adult Cohort 61 (43%) of the adult cohort drafted in August 2012 remain engaged with IOM.
The % of the current cohorts reoffending range from Thanet 13% (NB: majority have recently been released from lengthy custodial sentences), Swale 30%, and Maidstone 38% to Tunbridge Wells 80%, Gravesham 89%, and Dartford (low numbers) 100%. Offending has increased amongst cohorts in Shepway (+25), Gravesham (+11), Swale, and Canterbury. Offending in Dartford remains static; all other districts have achieved reductions. Notably Sevenoaks -45 offences (mostly attributed to 1 individual) and Medway -37 offences (note 1 male’s offending has reduced considerably alongside successful treatment for substance misuse).
Types of Offences committed by the adult IOM cohort; there are reductions in shoplifting, theft from motor vehicle, burglary other and criminal damage whilst burglary dwelling has increased.
70% of the Adult disposals are charge. TICs reduced by 46 (-34%) to 90.
Successful Completions: These have improved again this month. Rolling Year July 2012 to June 2013 had 60.5% successful IOM completions, am improvement of 10% from a year ago.
Probation Volunteers: Currently Probation have 4 volunteers assisting with 4 individuals on IOM. Sanctioned Detections: Adults

Deter Young Offenders Deter Young Offenders (DYOs) are those children and young people identified as the most problematic and assessed as being the most likely to re-offend.
DYOs are those who have been charged with or suspected to be committing a “priority crime”. These crimes are determined locally by the partnerships within the relevant Police area (Basic Command Unit).
The primary objective of the DYO process is to reduce the re-offending rate of DYOs through a closely co-ordinated approach between the Youth Offending Service and partner agencies.
As at June 2013, there were 42 young people who are classified as DYOs. The chart below show the distribution of this cohort across the county over the last three years.

NEETs (not in Education, Employment or Training)
Non-participation in education, employment or training between the ages of 16 and 18 is a major predictor of later unemployment, low income, depression, involvement in crime and poor mental health.
In August 2013, the number of people aged 18-24 not in education, employment or training (NEET) in Kent was 1,860. National figures are not yet available for August 2013, but in July 2013 the number of NEETs in Kent was 1,777, equivalent to 5.49% of the age cohort which was slightly less than the national rate of 5.6%.
The percentage of those classified as NEET in Kent has increased compared to the same snapshot period in the previous two years from 6.28% in Aug ‘11 to 5.86% in Aug ‘13.
Thanet district had the highest level of NEETs in the county with 8.92% of 16-18 year olds classed as NEET, compared with the average of 5.86% for Kent.

% Pupils Eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) Pupils who are eligible for FSM on average do less well at each key stage than non-FSM pupils. Furthermore, the progress made between key stages is on average less for FSM pupils than non-FSM.
Data released in June 2013 by the Department for Education, showed that overall, all other pupils perform significantly better than FSM pupils in all areas of the country, this performance gap can be seen at both key stage 2 and key stage 4.
FSM status is the only individual level administrative measure available of a pupil’s family’s financial circumstances and it has been used interchangeably as a proxy for financial hardship or for lower socio-economic status. However, research suggests that FSM status is a poor proxy for the effects of socio-economic status on attainment.

Referrals to Specialist Children’s Services Since 2010/11 the number of referrals to Specialist Children’s Services have decreased across all districts. The highest number of referrals in 2012/13 was recorded in Thanet (2,063) followed by Swale (1,548). At ward level the highest number were recorded in Cliftonville West in Thanet (313) followed by Dane Valley also in Thanet and Northfleet North in Gravesham.
Looked After Children At 31st March 2013, there were 1831 children and young people in the care of Kent County Council; 190 of whom were unaccompanied asylum seeking children. There has been an overall increase of 132 children compared with figures for March 2011 (1699) although the number of unaccompanied asylum seeking children has decreased by over this period; from 238 to 190.
Based on historical figures Thanet has the highest number of looked after children in Kent. In March 2013 there were 233 LAC in Thanet compared to 131 in Swale. Thanet has had similar numbers of LACs for the two preceding years.
Completed CAFs (Common Assessment Framework) The CAF is a four-step process whereby practitioners can identify a child's or young person's needs early, assess those needs holistically, deliver coordinated services and review progress. The CAF is designed to be used when: · a practitioner is worried about how well a child or young person is progressing (e.g. concerns about their health, development, welfare, behaviour, progress in learning or any other aspect of their wellbeing) · a child or young person, or their parent/carer, raises a concern with a practitioner · a child's or young person's needs are unclear, or broader than the practitioner's service can address.
The process is entirely voluntary and informed consent is mandatory, so families do not have to engage and if they do they can choose what information they want to share.
The CAF process is not a 'referral' process but a 'request for services'. The CAF should be offered to children who have additional needs to those being met by universal services. Unless a child is presenting a need, it is unlikely the CAF will be offered. The practitioner assesses needs using the CAF. The CAF is not a risk assessment.
Based on 2012/13 data the most amount of CAFs were generated in Swale (267), followed by Thanet (254), Dover (249), and Shepway (240).

The number of test purchase attempted has decreased year on year. We have seen a reduction in the amount of intelligence received concerning underage sales but have targeted our test purchases operations at those premises who are believed to be most persistent offenders, whilst continuing to offer comprehensive support and advice to retailers generally. In 2011/12, operations had a test purchase failure rate of 10.9%, which is significantly lower than the Trading Standards South East (TSSE) failure rate which is 15.6% and a reduction in the 2010/11 Kent rate of 11.8%.
In addition, the continual development of the Kent Community Alcohol Partnership (KCAP) since 2008 has seen notable progress in tackling irresponsible and underage drinking, through helping communities take action in partnerships with local agencies and retailers. Indeed, independent research by the University of Kent has confirmed that key crime and disorder indicators reduce in areas where a KCAP is in existence. These partnerships have often avoided the need for test purchase operations and formal action.

As the Social Services Authority for Kent, Families and Social Care is responsible for the protection and welfare of vulnerable adults (aged 18+) for the Kent County Council Local Authority Area. The four main Client groups supported by Families and Social Care (Adults) are people with a Physical and/ or Learning Disability or Mental Health condition aged 18 to 64 and Older Persons aged 65 and over.
The KASS datasets relevant for reducing crime and disorder are: I. Clients with Learning Disability II. Adult Protection Alerts
Clients with Learning Disability (LD) - District The Fiona Pilkington Inquest concluded that it is the responsibility of the local councils to manage low levels of anti-social behaviour rather than for the police. This dataset is to inform CSP partners on the number and location of FSC Learning Disabled.
It has been national social care policy to offer LD Clients the choice to live as independently as possible and avoid being placed in a Residential home where able. The successful integration into the community however, sometimes results in exposure to anti-social bullying and intimidation. Although institutional care offers some protection against this, it is important that CSP partners understand the importance of integration of our learning disabled neighbours and it is in fact the anti-social behaviour that needs to be stemmed.
Of the Learning Disability Clients known to Families and Social Care (Adults) living in Kent: · there are currently 3,464 countywide; · 74.51% (2,528) live in the Community with the largest proportions living in Thanet (13.36%) and Shepway (12.85%) and the smallest in Sevenoaks (4.39%).
Source: SWIFT, Families and Social Care (Adults), August 2013 Adult Protection Alerts If there are signs that a vulnerable adult could have been abused (physically, emotionally, financially, etc.) family, friends or anyone in a professional capacity can report their concern and the Client will have a vulnerable adult protection designation. The media’s coverage of the “Baby P” case highlight that it may simply be a matter of time before an equivalent “Adult P” case would emerge. Clearly inter-agency working to protect these individuals is paramount, involving the Police where necessary. Due to the smaller numbers involved, the data is presented at CSP level only.
There are 3,192 Adult Protection Alerts in Kent. The largest percentage of alerts in the county are in Canterbury (13.66%), followed by Thanet (12.26%) and both Maidstone and Shepway (11.46%). The Lowest percentage is in Sevenoaks (4.48%).

The Kent Troubled Families Programme presents an exceptional opportunity to do something radically different that has a real impact for Kent’s troubled families, as well as for the communities they live in across Kent. The programme aims to achieve a change in the way public services work with families, reducing the number of interventions from different agencies and making them more effective.
Evidence shows that using a single lead worker can have the biggest impact on changing the behaviour of a troubled family and in Kent we are committed to providing lead workers for each of the 2,560 troubled families identified across the county. We are also keen to test new creative solutions for these families – for example, our Kent-wide offer will offer apprenticeship or training opportunities for every young person aged 16-24 years old.
Families are eligible on the basis that they meet two of the following criteria: Education (low attendance, exclusions, being in a PRU, not on the school roll or significant behavioural or other concerns) Crime (10-18 year olds committing an offence in the 12 months prior to nomination) ASB – significant ASB concern Worklessness – at least one adult in the household claiming out of work benefits.
Families can be nominated in from any service via their district based local project manager.
