Report of the Commissioner.

The Board received a report of the Commissioner on the Review of arrangements for the Independent Advisory Scrutiny Group.

The Board discussed whether the format and structure of the group provided an effective basis for engagement. Following a Member’s query the background of the Group and its structure were confirmed. Further to this discussion the Board instructed Officers to review the recruitment and governance of this Group with the Force’s Trust and Professionalism Team with a view to bringing an update back to Board later in the year (November/ December) to outline what is and what is not working with the new arrangements.

It was agreed that members of the Group be invited to observe a meeting of the Police Authority Board.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
