 a common agreement regarding the approach to the development of the mini LAA(s) and its contents.
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f1\cgrid \hich\af1\dbch\af0\loch\f1 b.\tab}This agreement should encompass the processes to be used to develop and oversee the preparation and implementation of the mini LAA(s), the strategic and lo
cal priorities, and the distribution of resources to meet these priorities.
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f1\cgrid \hich\af1\dbch\af0\loch\f1 c.\tab}To assist in developing this agreement, the crime and disorder audits and strategies should be assessed by the community safety officer group to establish both 
Leicestershire wide and local priorities, and a further audit of the use of existing expenditure should be undertaken.
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f1\cgrid \hich\af1\dbch\af0\loch\f1 d.\tab}A workshop should be held early in 2005 involving the partnerships and agencies outlined in a above.  It should consider the issues outlined in b 
above and the outcome of the audits proposed in c above.  Its findings should be reported to the Leicestershire Together Board and the other relevant partnerships.
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f1\cgrid \hich\af1\dbch\af0\loch\f1 e.\tab}Best practice should be fed into the process, particularly from the East Midlands pilot in Derbyshire.
\par {\listtext\pard\plain\f1\cgrid \hich\af1\dbch\af0\loch\f1 f.\tab}
The sub group should continue to meet to plan and oversee the workshop, make appropriate recommendations based on its findings and generally promote a consistent approach to the development of a mini LAA(s) across partnerships and agencies.
