Background |
|
|
|
|
3.1 |
The terms of
reference must be agreed at the first meeting of the Gwent PSB (Schedule 4 Article
4) and thereafter at any mandatory meeting, the next one of which must take
place within 60 days of the next local government election. |
|
3.2 |
The terms of
reference are not static and may need to be altered in the future as the
Gwent PSB considers its alignment to other regional boards, particularly
those delivering statutory duties for the relevant partners, such as under
community safety legislation. |
|
3.3 |
The terms of
reference were agreed by the Gwent PSB at its first meeting on 1st
October 2021. The PSB considered the draft Communications & Engagement
Plan at their Development session on 14th Feb 2022. And
consequently, the Communications & Engagement group were asked to
consider how to incorporate the PSB’s views on values, transparency and
openness to encourage participation from citizens. Paragraphs 59 – 61 have
been added to the original terms of reference for consideration by the PSB
and are attached at Appendix 1 |
