Inspection of Best Value Arrangements

The National Audit Office (NAO), supported by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) have a legislative requirement to complete a review of the Policing Board’s obligations under Part V of the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2000.  These reports can be found at www.nao.gov.uk and www.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic.

The Policing Board continues to use the wealth of experience brought by the membership of the Continuous Improvement Strategic Working Group to advise and deliver Best Value in PSNI and the Policing Board. This group is made up of representatives from the Policing Board, PSNI, NIO, NAO, HMIC, Criminal Justice Inspectorate Northern Ireland, and the Association of Police Authorities.

It meets generally quarterly, and reviews the progress against the Best Value Performance Plan to date and considers new areas for consideration and development.
