Standard 12
Consult about our decisions
We will talk to you about our decisions and listen to you.
12.1 We will explain our job to people. We will ask people what they think we should be doing. We do this by talking to community groups.
We also have groups of people who meet to talk about what we do. These groups are called Community Involvement Panels. They tell us what they think about the decisions we make.
We listen to them and think about changing what we do. If we think it is right we will change what we do.
12.2 We work with the police and the local authority to solve problems like anti-social behaviour.
