Evaluation Community Safety Pilot

The Safer Streets Pilot will be a four-month project working in the two areas with a new operating model.

The proposal is to bring together a multi-agency team with staff delivering their existing functions with a focus on joint problem solving, tackling safety concerns and an additional resident-focused engagement.

The multi-disciplinary team (MDT) will consist of around 40 staff and include teams including ASB, Neighbourhoods, Violence Reduction, CCTV operations and be supported by a further 20 officers from wider teams including Regen, Community Safety, Housing services and Streetbase and the Met Police.

We are looking for the successful provider to conduct qualitative research to understand the experience of residents, businesses, partners, elected Members and staff in the pilot areas with a view to assessing the impact of the Safer Streets Pilot and recommend insight-driven improvements to the model before it is rolled out across the whole borough.

The objectives for the provider are to: • Develop a more robust understanding of the issues around Community Safety in Chingford Mount and South Leytonstone • Assess and measure the impact of the pilot in the 2 areas • Attain learning from staff, residents, Members and partners to improve and refine the model • Develop recommendations to improve the model before it is rolled out across the whole borough
