HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Record of an Executive Decision:

1) Summary:

The following decisions were made:

1.1. That subject to the availability of resources, Cabinet offers its `in principle' support to continuation of the Junior Community Team (JCT);

1.2. That Cabinet members look to explore possible funding options with the County Treasurer that could provide additional resources in partnership with schools for the expansion of Joint Community Teams;

1.3. That through savings that will arise from the discontinuation of the South East England Regional Assembly, support be given to ensure continuity of the ACSO service in the Totton and Eling Town Council area.

2) Reasons for the decision:

2.1 The ACSO service was established in 2004 to tackle community safety issues, such as anti-social behaviour and nuisance, which were highlighted as areas of concern in the MORI residents survey. The service meets each of the corporate priorities and youth engagement projects will further enhance the service.

3) Other options considered and rejected:

3.1. Option 1:

To maintain the current balance of resources within the service and keep JCT in one school per district area.

3.2. Option 2:

To seek to expand JCT to more schools in Hampshire by seeking partnership arrangements with Hampshire Constabulary and by external funding.
