Implications for the VCSE sector• Need to review current arrangements for
delivering community safety services• Understand the new commissioning landscape• Provide evidence to support your “business plan”• Demonstrate how you can help the PCCs to
understand the needs of local people• Represent the needs and concerns of the most
vulnerable groups, including victims and offenders

influence strategic plans– Build links between the network and other strategic
partners– Identify training and support needs of network partners– Provide evidence of the success and impact of the network
partners and of lessons for policy makers and practitioners– Ensure excluded groups and the vulnerable are heard and
represented
