Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour Conference
Statistics show that while crime and anti-social behaviour are falling, public perceptions of these issues have not similarly decreased. To tackle this, emphasis is on transparency, better partnership working at a neighbourhood level and more support for victims who report anti-social behaviour. This year, our 13th annual crime and anti-social behaviour conference will take stock of the practical remedies available, update delegates on the latest developments in the field and provide tools to further improve the solutions provided.
Speakers include:
John Dunworth, Head of Anti-Social Behaviour Policy and Implementation, Home Office
Vicki Savage, Neighbourhoods and Local Innovation Associate, The Young Foundation
Graeme Bennett, National Lead LA & ALMO Landlord Services, Audit Commission
Jan Luba QC, Garden Court Chambers
Lesley Barnard, Tenant Standards Manager for the North, Tenants Service Authority
Key report highlighing the skills we need for sustainable communities.
This major piece of research was undertaken by Arup on our behalf. Building on the work of others - including Ernst & Young, DTZ, York Consulting, Asset Skills, CIS and CABE - the study provides the first cross-sector assessment of supply and demand of skills required to deliver sustainable communities. It provides detailed information on current and forecasted labour shortages and skills gaps, by profession and by region.
Building sustainable communities depends on the efforts of a wide range of occupations, including architecture, planning, civil engineering, surveying, housing, community development, neighbourhood management, economic development and increasingly environmental management. This study provides the sector with an opportunity to assess what we’re doing to tackle these issues and ensure that we accelerate our programmes to meet market demand.
