Community Involvement Panel
Community Involvement Panels work in two ways. They help us to increase our understanding of current issues in our communities. And also, by helping us to tackle issues of concern, they improve confidence amongst members of the communities we serve.
The Panels currently include representatives from the community, public and charitable sectors. Subjects represented include:
- Race/ethnicity
- Victim and witness care
- Rape
- Domestic violence
- Faith
- Mental health
- Refugee issues
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues
- Youth
- Hate crime
Members of the Panel advise the CPS locally on the development and delivery of our work, including Area Business Plans and Community Engagement Strategies.
They explore ways in which we can raise awareness of our role and increase confidence within communities in Yorkshire and Humberside.
They offer their expertise, knowledge and experience to help us reach people within those communities.
The Panel participates in joint planning and decision-making, designed to ensure that we are inclusive in our approach to our business and that community views are incorporated into our decision-making.
They look at how we do things and make recommendations about how we can serve our communities better.
