Violence Reduction Clause Samples

Violence Reduction. In response to the Government’s national Serious Violence Strategy, the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) introduced a Violence Reduction Challenge (VRC) in 2018, a year-long study into the challenges around reducing violence. The PCC worked with victims, residents, charities, statutory bodies and others to learn about people’s experiences of violent crime, its causes and how it can be tackled as well as challenging Partner agencies to look at opportunities to address this issue. In 2019, the OPCC was successful in being awarded Home Office funding to set up a multi-agency Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) in Kent to deliver a range of violence reduction projects. The VRU remains in place and has recently been awarded a three year funding settlement until March 2025. Some of the key challenges for partners in relation to violence include the implementation of the new Serious Violence duty (see 3.10) and tackling the issue of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) (see 3.2).

Violence Reduction. Levels of violence have increased across the prisons estate, particularly during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 business years. NOMS has established a two-year broad-based Violence Reduction Project, building on the earlier Violence Management policy review, to understand, address and reverse this increase and support safer prisons through a coherent Violence Reduction Strategy combining a policy framework with practical operational solutions that can be tailored to local threats, risks and needs. In recognition that prisoner violence is a system-wide issue, the Violence Reduction Project is working in partnership between public and private providers as well as the commissioning, policy and operational arms of NOMS. PSP will contribute to the development and implementation of the Violence Reduction Project.

The PCC worked with victims, residents, charities, statutory bodies and others to learn about people’s experiences of violent crime, its causes and how it can be tackled as well as challenging Partner agencies to look at opportunities to address this issue. As a result of this work the PCC set up a Violence Reduction Fund in 2019/20 to tackle violence in the county and requested that the Crime Reduction Grant funding provided to Community Safety Partnerships in Kent and Medway by the PCC has a particular focus around tackling violence. Coupled with this, in 2019, the OPCC was successful in being awarded Home Office funding to set up a Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) in Kent to deliver a range of violence reduction projects. The VRU is a partnership between police, local councils, health service providers and other key agencies to deliver a reduction in violence in the county.

  • WORKFORCE REDUCTION SECTION 1 Layoffs (A) When employees are to be laid off, the state shall implement such layoff in the following manner: (1) The competitive area within which layoffs will be affected shall be defined as statewide within the DHSMV. (2) Layoff shall be by occupational level within the Florida Highway Patrol bargaining unit. (3) An employee who has not attained permanent status in his current position may be laid off without applying the provision for retention rights. (4) No employee with permanent status in his current position shall be laid off while an employee who does not hold permanent status in his current position is serving in that broadband level unless the permanent employee does not elect to exercise his retention rights or does not meet the selective competition criteria. (5) All employees who have permanent status in their current position shall be ranked on a layoff list based on the total retention points derived as follows: (a) Length of service retention points shall be based on one point for each month of continuous service in a Career Service position. 1. An employee who resigns from one Career Service position to accept employment in another Career Service position is not considered to have a break in service. 2. An employee who has been laid off and is reemployed within one year from the date of the layoff, shall not be considered to have a break in service. 3. Moving from Career Service to Selected Exempt Service or Senior Management Service and back to Career Service does not constitute a break in service unless the employee’s break in service is more than 31 calendar days. Only time spent in the Career Service can be counted in calculating retention points. (b) Retention points deducted for performance not meeting performance standards or work expectations defined for the position shall be based on the five years immediately prior to the DHSMV’s established cutoff date. Five points shall be deducted for each month an employee has a rating below performance expectations. (6) The layoff list shall be prepared by totaling retention points. Employees eligible for veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1)(a) or (b), F.S., shall have fifteen percent added to their total retention points, those eligible pursuant to section 295.07(1)(c), (d), or (e), F.S., shall have ten percent added to their total retention points, and those eligible pursuant to section 295.071(1)(f), or (g), F.S., shall have five percent added to their total retention points. (7) The employee with the highest total retention points is placed at the top of the list, and the employee with the lowest retention points is placed at the bottom of the list. (8) The employee at the top of the list shall bump the employee at the bottom of the list. The next highest employee on the list and the remaining employees shall be handled in the same manner until the total number of filled positions in the broadband level to be abolished is complete. (9) Should two or more employees have the same combined total of retention points, the order of layoff shall be determined by giving preference for retention in the following sequence: (a) The employee with the longest service in the affected broadband level. (b) The employee with the longest continuous service in the Career Service. (c) The employee who is entitled to veterans’ preference pursuant to section 295.07(1), F.S. (10) An employee who has permanent status in his current position and is to be laid off shall be given at least 14 calendar days’ notice of such layoff or two weeks’ pay or a combination of days of notice and pay. Any payment will be made at the employee’s current hourly base rate of pay. The notice of layoff shall be in writing and sent to the employee by certified mail, return receipt requested. Within seven calendar days after receiving the notice of layoff, the employee shall have the right to request, in writing, a reassignment, lateral action, or demotion within the competitive area in lieu of layoff to a position in a broadband level within the bargaining unit in which the employee held permanent status, or to a position at the level of or below the current level in the bargaining unit, in which the employee held permanent status. Such request must be in writing and reassignment or demotion cannot be effected to a higher broadband level. (11) An employee’s request for reassignment, lateral action, or demotion shall be granted unless it would cause the layoff of another employee who possesses a greater total of retention points. (12) An employee adversely affected as a result of another employee having a greater number of retention points shall have the same right of reassignment, lateral action, or demotion under the procedure as provided in this section. (13) If an employee requests a reassignment, lateral action, or demotion in lieu of layoff, the same formula and criteria for establishing retention points shall be used as prescribed in this section. (B) If there is to be a layoff of employees the state shall take all reasonable steps to place any adversely affected employees in existing vacancies for which they are qualified. (C) If work performed by employees in this unit is to be performed by non-state employees, the state agrees to encourage the employing entity to consider any adversely affected unit employees for employment in its organization if the state has been unable to place the employees in other positions within the Career Service System.

  • Staff Reduction 15.01 Both parties recognize that job security should increase in proportion to length of service. Teachers shall be laid-off in reverse order of seniority in accordance with the following priority: a. Firstly, term contract teachers; b. Secondly, probationary contract teachers, in reverse order of seniority; c. Permanent contract teachers, in reverse order of seniority; Provided the retained more senior teacher has, in the judgement of the Board, the appropriate qualifications and experience for the work to be assigned. 15.02 When it is necessary to invoke staff reduction, the Board shall first give priority, to the extent it considers practical, to natural attrition, including encouragement of full year unpaid leaves of absence. a. Staff reductions shall not be invoked to release teachers liable to dismissal for cause. b. Teachers directly affected by staff reduction policy shall be informed by the Board as soon as a final decision is made. c. The Board shall provide an appropriate letter of reference for any laid-off teacher whose contract is not renewed because of staff reduction. d. The Board shall maintain a Re-employment List of all laid-off teachers formerly employed in the system who remain unemployed because of staff reduction. It shall be the duty of the teacher to advise the Board of all changes in address. Failure to do so shall constitute a waiver on the part of the teacher for the opportunity to be recalled, during the time the address is inaccurate. e. A teacher on the Re-employment List shall notify the Board on or before February 1st that she/he wishes to remain on said List. Upon failure to do so, the name of such teacher shall be automatically removed from the List. f. Upon the Board being satisfied that a teacher on the Re- employment List is employed as a teacher on a full year contract with another school board in a vacant position, the name of such teacher shall be automatically removed from the List.

  • Reduction in Force and Recall Section 13.1. It is the intent of the parties, through this article, to establish an objective procedure by which a reduction in force (i.e., layoff or job abolishment) may be accomplished, should the need arise, and supersede the provisions of ORC 124.321 to 124.328, 124.37, OAC 123: 1-41-01 to 123: 1-41-22, and all local rules and regulations of the City of East Cleveland Civil Service Commission governing work force reductions. Section 13.2. Employees may be laid off as a result of lack of work, lack of funds, or abolishment of position. In the event of a layoff, the Employer shall notify the affected employee thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the effective date of layoff. The Employer agrees to discuss with representatives of the FOP the impact of the layoff on the bargaining unit member. Any layoff in the bargaining unit shall be in accordance with departmental seniority, i.e., the most recent employee hired is the first employee laid off. Any employee laid off from a bargaining unit position may, at his option, displace a permanent part-time or intermittent employee in the same classification. Failure to bump or failure to accept a recall to a part-time or intermittent position shall not jeopardize an employee’s recall rights to a full-time position. Section 13.3. Employees who are laid off shall be placed on a recall list for a period of three (3) years. If there is a recall, employees who are still on the recall list shall be recalled, in the inverse order of their layoff, provided they are presently qualified to perform the work in the work section to which they are recalled. Any recalled employee requiring additional training to meet the position qualifications in existence at the time of recall must satisfactorily complete the additional training required in this section. Such training shall be at the Employer’s expense. Section 13.4. The recalled employee shall have ten (10) calendar days following the date of recall notice to notify the Employer of his intention to return to work and shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the recall notice in which to report for duty, unless a different date for return to work has been otherwise agreed upon.

  • Termination or Reduction of the Commitments (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the Available Commitments, provided that (i) each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made that would reduce the aggregate Commitments to an amount less than the Outstanding Credits on the date of such termination or reduction. Subject to the foregoing, any reduction of the Commitments to an amount below $500,000,000 shall also result in a reduction of the LC Commitment Amount to the extent of such deficit (and if such reduction would cause the LC Commitment Amount to be less than the aggregate Fronting Commitments, with automatic reductions in the amount of each Fronting Commitment ratably in proportion to the amount of such reduction of the LC Commitment Amount unless, in the case of any LC Issuing Bank, such LC Issuing Bank consents otherwise). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall be irrevocable; provided, however, that a notice of termination delivered pursuant to this Section 2.08 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the effective date specified in the notice of termination) if such condition is not satisfied. (b) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.21(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. (c) The Commitment of each Lender shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender as provided in Section 2.06. (d) Once terminated, a Commitment or any portion thereof may not be reinstated.
