Are VRU and MOPAC commissioned services meeting expectations?
The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and the Mayor’s Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) both have significant commissioning powers. These largely focus on victims’ services, as well as crime prevention and reduction work.
Tomorrow, the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee will investigate how MOPAC and the VRU spend commissioning budgets, including services that have been commissioned over the last three years and how these services meet local need and improve the lives of Londoners.
The Committee will also review recent changes in MOPAC’s commissioning budget, including the 30 per cent transfer from the London Crime Prevention Fund to the centralised co-commissioning fund, and evaluate whether this has had an impact on wider service delivery.
The guests are:
Part 1 - 10:00am – 11:00am
- Lib Peck, Director of the Violence Reduction Unit
Part 2 - 11:05am – 12:00pm
- Will Balakrishnan, Director of Commissioning and Partnerships, MOPAC
The meeting will take place on Wednesday 4 December 2024 from 10am in Committee Rooms 2&3 at City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, E16 1ZE.
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube.
