Performance Framework Consultation
In May 2012, the IPCC will publish its Corporate Plan for 2012/15, which will include the 2012/13 Business Plan.
This year, ahead of formal publication, we are seeking feedback from individuals and organisations with an interest in our work. This exercise will run for six weeks, from Friday 17 February closing on Friday 30 March 2012.
The Corporate Plan outlines our strategic direction for the next three years, structuring our work under the themes of Independence, Excellence, and Accountability, and the supporting capabilities of People and Resources. Our Business Plan sets out the work that we plan to do in 2012/13, organised under these themes and capabilities.
The plans also include information about how we will achieve our objectives, the long term outcomes we hope to achieve, and how we will measure our performance.
We are asking for feedback on our strategic themes and capabilities, and how we will deliver our work. We will continue to work closely with stakeholders in order to achieve our aims, and welcome views and comments on our plans and any thoughts you may have on this document:
Do you have any comments on the strategic sections (1-5) of the Corporate Plan?
Do you have any comments on the Business Plan for 2012/13? (sections 6 to 14)
Please send any comments or questions to strategy&planning@ipcc.gsi.gov.uk
Any feedback that cannot be taken forward in the draft corporate and business plans for this year will be fed in to our planning process for 2013/14.
The IPCC intends to carry out a review of its work in cases where Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights is engaged. This will include looking at its powers, resources and approach to dealing with these cases.
The aims of the review are:
to take stock after eight years of operation and identify any changes / improvements that are required to our approach, the resources allocated to this area and our powers;
to engage extensively with ALL our stakeholders particularly individuals who have been involved in our work in this area to listen to their views and concerns;
to improve public understanding of our work in this area and thus public confidence.
The review will be carried out by engaging with people who are affected by our work in this area, organisations involved in process and other interested parties.
Before formally starting the review the IPCC would like to consult stakeholders on the scope of the review and the proposed methodology.
We would be grateful for your views on this document and in particular on the following questions:
Do you have any comments on the scope of the review - is there anything else you think should be included?
How would you / your organisation like to be involved with the review?
The IPCC is considering creating a steering group for the review with external stakeholders being represented? Do you think this is the right approach?
What advice and assistance could you offer us to engage with some of the groups we have identified such as families and communities?
Is there anyone else we should be engaging with?
Do you have any other comments on either the scope or the methodology?
Our plan is to consult on the scope and methodology until 20 March 2012. We will then review the feedback we have received and prepare a final draft of the scope for the Commission to consider at its meeting on 4 April 2012.
We will then undertake a programme of work including further consultation, evidence gathering, focus groups, public events and interviews with a variety of stakeholders to conduct the review.
The review will result in a report which will summarise what has come out of the review and will set out recommendations for actions in response. This might include actions for the IPCC and wider actions for the Home Office to consider.
This consultation closed on 20 March 2012 and a Commission paper detailing responses received and changes to scope was considered on 4 April 2012.
Since April 2006 the IPCC's remit has included serious complaints, conduct matters and death and serious injury matters in relation to the staff of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The IPCC has a statutory duty to promote public confidence in HMRC's handling of those matters which fall within the IPCC's remit. The IPCC's statutory guidance is a key tool through which the IPCC is able to deliver that duty.
The draft guidance draws on the statutory guidance issued by the IPCC to the police service in 2010 and has been developed in consultation with HMRC to reflect the organisation's legislative and practical requirements. It will now be reviewed in light of the feedback received during the consultation and will be published later this year.
Consultation document - Consultation on the IPCC's proposed statutory guidance for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs
The consultation ended on 20 June 2011
The IPCC consulted in 2009 on a revised version of its statutory guidance for the police service. The consultation opened on 16 July 2009 and closed on 7 October 2009. Our statutory guidance is a key document for the IPCC, setting standards for how the police complaints system should operate.
Following the close of the consultation we worked to make changes to our proposed guidance in light of the feedback we received. The final version of the document was approved by the Home Secretary at the beginning of 2010. The police service, police authorities and the IPCC began working under the revised guidance on 1 April 2010.
During 2008 the IPCC worked with police and community stakeholders to carry out a 'Stock Take' of the police complaints system. The Stock Take aimed to:
check how well the system was working against its original aims
check if the original aims were still appropriate in the current environment
improve the system based on learning from the last four years of operation.
The Stock Take process led to a set of proposals for continuing to improve the police complaints system and published a consultation document on 23 June 2008.
