Welsh Language Scheme December 2007
(Currently under review) |
Gwent Police and Gwent Police Authority have adopted the principle that, in the conduct of public business and the administration of justice, it will treat the English and Welsh Languages on a basis of equality. Our Welsh Language Scheme sets out how we will give effect to that principle when providing services to the public in Wales.

The Code of Corporate Governance is intended to set out the Police Authority’s position and aspirations in relation to governance issues. The Code outlines how the police authority will hold the Chief Constable to account and make sure that he has appropriate processes and policies in place to satisfy the requirements of good corporate governance.
To provide members of the Authority with clear job profiles to assist them in carrying out their roles and to support the corporate governance framework.
In administering its responsibilities in relation to fraud and corruption, whether it is attempted on the Authority or from within it, the Authority is committed to an effective fraud and corruption policy designed to encourage prevention, promote detection; and identify a clear pathway for investigation
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 as amended by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005, places a statutory general duty on all public organisations to promote disability equality. This Scheme has been designed to ensure that the Authority meets this duty. Therefore, it is a commitment from the Authority to remove barriers, which restrict disabled people’s access to the Authority, which it will approach by concentrating on responding effectively to identified needs by making reasonable adjustments as appropriate, where required.
The Authority will not treat any individual less favourably for reasons relating to their disability. The Authority are committed to challenging both direct and indirect discrimination by ensuring that no policy, practice, procedure or physical barrier makes it impossible for people to access services, membership, employment or buildings.
The aim of this strategy is to define how the Gwent Police Authority and Gwent Police will engage effectively, at all levels, from Wards to BCU’s, with the communities which we serve. Community Engagement is an essential ingredient in delivering a Citizen Focused style of policing and should be seen as the bedrock of our foundations. Without effective community engagement we will fail to meet the needs and aspirations of our communities.
The people of Gwent will receive the quality of policing to which they are entitled only if there is an open, mutually supportive yet constructively challenging relationship between the Police Authority, the Chief Constable and the Police Service he/she leads.
It is in order to foster and maintain this crucial partnership working that the following principles, guidelines and practices have been developed. They are intended to underpin a culture and climate of mutual trust, confidence and openness in which both responsibility and accountability is clear.
We believe that our duty to develop this scheme gives us an ideal opportunity to examine, bring together, and prioritise issues that are important to everyone.
We seek to achieve a diverse authority that is representative of our community and to ensure that we treat everyone equally with regard to the services we provide.
The task of eliminating discrimination and promoting equal opportunity has been a continuing theme for the Police Authority for some time. We still remain fully committed to the theme and recognize that there are equality issues that effect people’s lives that can not be addressed by a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Gwent Police and the Gwent Police Authority are determined to be recognised as truly citizen focused organisations whilst building upon the Force’s record of crime detection and reduction. The successful delivery of a citizen-focused service through collaborative working is a key enabler to meeting locally set objectives and assisting in addressing priorities set nationally.
The aim of neighbourhood policing is to enhance the quality of life for communities by increasing satisfaction and confidence, reducing the fear of crime and resolving local problems of crime and anti-social behaviour.
The Government has determined that the rollout across England and Wales will be completed by April 2008. [more...]
