North
Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel
6
February 2025
Work
Programme
2.0
The Panel is responsible for setting its own work programme taking
into account the statutory duties that the Panel must undertake and
the priorities defined within the context of the Police and Crime
Plan and Fire and Rescue Plan.
3.0
The work programme at Appendix A highlights those issues which have
been previously agreed or which have been added since the last
meeting in discussion with the Chair and Vice Chair.
4.0
The work programme looks at key topics and areas of interest under
the rubric of the four CARE principles, as drawn from the current
two key statutory plans.
5.0
Further to the Mayor issuing new plans (prior to the end of March
2025), the Panel’s work programme for 2025/26 will need to be
reviewed in the spring, to ensure that the Panel is continuing to
focus on scrutinising key themes and objectives from the statutory
plans.
6.0
Members are also reminded that it is preferable for the Panel to
agree just a couple of key substantive reports to come to each
meeting; and perhaps just one thematic report where this is taken
in addition to statutory reporting. This is to ensure that
sufficient time can be given to each discussion and also to ensure
that the ask of the Mayor’s office is not overly
burdensome.
7.0
All full Panel meetings will continue to be held in person and
venues are highlighted on the programme where these have been
confirmed.
