PEEL Assessment 2023-25
Decision of PCC: Assured
Reason of Decision:
Rationale:
Following the publication of the Cleveland PEEL Assessment 2023-25, the PCC was looking to:
• Seek assurance that the Force has sufficient plans in place to address the areas of improvement identified by the HMICFRS;
• Provide reassurance to the public that the Force is making the necessary improvements at pace; and
• Seek confirmation that good performance will be improved upon, maintained and monitored to clearly demonstrate the impact of improvements on outcomes for victims of crime, the public, officers and staff.
Questions:
1. Following receipt of the early indications of HMICFRS’s findings, what improvements were immediately put in place?
2. In relation to the ‘areas for improvement’, identified within the report, what will be different and by when?
3. How does the Force plan to maintain, and improve on, good performance?
Meeting Outcome:
The PCC was assured by the evidence submitted by the Force. The PCC noted the journey of improvement the Force had made since the last PEEL inspection and was assured that with its robust governance and internal assurance processes, the Force was well placed to achieve positive improvements in the next inspection.
