The Crime and Disorder network have moved their meeting forward to Wednesday 18 June 2008 to allow the Network sufficient time to agenda any issues for discussion onto the Crime and Disorder Partnership. They need two or three weeks notice for items to be included on their agenda. The Network hopes this will not inconvenience any members but if you have any comments please pass them on to Colin who will forward them to the Chair, Geoff Roebuck for response.

For Information Bill Ormsby has been selected to represent the Crime and Disorder Network on the newly created Acquisitive Crime Group. This group is a merger between the Burglary Theme Group and the Vehicle Crime Group and it will devote its attention to issues relating to burglary, vehicle crime and robbery.

by TAFWA (Tameside African Families Welfare Association) - 29 May 2008
, 10.30a.m. – 4p.m at Dukinfield Town Hall, King Street, Dukinfield

African saying:
'It is hard for mountain to reach families so families are climbing the mountain to have a summit'

This is a ground-breaking seminar, pulling together mainstream bodies in the voluntary, statutory and private sectors to establish an on-going dialogue with African communities and families. This is the first time any African group will create an avenue that helps mainstream bodies demonstrate their intentions and good practice by having a direct dialogue with hard to reach community.
 
Themes:

  • Challenges facing policy makers and mainstream bodies: the growing population of unreachable African communities and families in Tameside?

  • Investment in African community knowledge and experience as a vital resource that can provide added value to the social, cultural and economic life of Tameside.

  • Reinforcing recognition of interdependency in the local authority departments: The integration and inclusion of minority ethnic people into the workforce i.e. education, cultural heritage and businesses

Audiences:
Professionals and representatives of Tameside Mainstream bodies in the Voluntary, Public and Private sectors, Police and Economic development agencies - Groups and individuals of African and other communities.

Early booking is essential – It is a first come basis - Booking form
Cost: Statutory, Voluntary and Private Sectors: £50.00, Individual professional : £35.00,
Concession: Student / Unemployed £15.00
