The South Wales Police Strategic Independent Advisory Group (IAG) performs the vital role of a ‘critical friend’ in relation to our policies and processes. It allows us to coproduce the service we deliver with the communities we serve.
It is a forum where independent members of the community can offer advice based on their knowledge and lived experience of equality and human rights issues in policing and contribute to making South Wales a safer, more cohesive place.
The role of the IAG is to provide informal scrutiny and advice on our service with a particular focus on ensuring we understand and are able to respond to the needs of all our communities.
We need people with a passion, commitment and understanding of equality and human rights to help us at a local level working with our three operational teams covering Cardiff and the Vale, Mid Glamorgan, and Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.
We also need our ‘critical friends’ to assist us at a strategic level providing advice, through our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion team, for the Chief Constable and the senior leaders across our force.
We need the membership of the Strategic IAG to be as representative as possible of the diverse communities across our three policing areas, in line with the Equality Act 2010. As such, will be looking to draw membership from each of the three areas that can offer localised experience of the protected characteristics listed in the Act.
