Ethics Board Independent Lay Member- Volunteer Role

2 weeks ago

North Yorkshire, United Kingdom North Yorkshire Police Full time

**Ethics Board Independent Lay Member**

**Location: Across North Yorkshire Police or OPFCC Estate**

**Contract: Volunteer Opportunity**

The North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police wish to enhance and embed an exemplary ethical culture within North Yorkshire Police, where integrity, impartiality, transparency and public service are at the core of all decisions and actions.

The Commissioner and Chief Constable recognise that police legitimacy comes from transparent, honest, fair and respectful treatment of the public. To enhance public trust and confidence in North Yorkshire Police requires every officer and member of staff to consider their ethical behaviour in every interaction.

The Commissioner and Chief Constable also recognise that an ethical tenor across the organisation helps to create a motivated, inclusive workforce who feel valued and either exemplify or strive to meet and where possible exceed our values and standards, who know that they are respected by the organisation and recognise that it is driven by fair organisational justice.

The Code of Ethics forms a central part of policing’s approach to ethical behaviour. However, the Commissioner and Chief Constable acknowledge that to truly embed ethics at the heart of every decision and action, requires a further step change for every individual and for the organisation.

The IEAB will provide guidance, support and challenge to the Commissioner and Chief Constable as they seek to attain beacon status in terms of embedding an ethical and values-driven culture. The IEAB will help resolve ethical dilemmas and provide advice and guidance, signalling where a new or different course may need to be taken to ensure that standards match our ambition. The fresh perspective of our IEAB and its independence of mind, coupled with delivery of its messages to us with absolute candour, will benefit us immensely.

***

**Purpose**:
The IEAB will provide independent advice and guidance to the Commissioner and Chief Constable regarding ethical issues and in so doing, enhance trust and confidence in the ethical governance and actions of the organisation.

The IEAB will support the Commissioner and Chief Constable to:

- Promote the highest standards of ethical conduct.
- Provide a focus for education into ethical issues.
- Provide a source of support to others.
- Advise on compliance with organisational values, practice and behaviours.

**Board Responsibilities**:
The IEAB will advise and support the Commissioner and Chief Constable in ensuring the highest standard of professional ethics are adhered to within policing services in North Yorkshire. They will help assess ethical dilemmas and contentious matters referred to the Board, bringing insightful perspectives and experiences from diverse backgrounds and professions to support decision-making. The Board will act as a ‘critical friend’ to decision makers but will not be a decision maker in its own right.

The IEAB will provide advice on the following matters:

- Policy and Procedure
- Decision Making
- Leadership
- Culture
- Conduct
- People

***

**Role of an Independent Lay Member**:
The role of an independent Lay member to the IEAB is to engage with regular meetings considering ethical issues within policing.

The IEAB will provide independent advice to the Commissioner and Chief Constable regarding ethical issues and for enhancing trust and confidence in the ethical governance and actions of the organisation.

The Board will support the Commissioner and Chief Constable to:

- Promote the highest standards of ethical conduct.
- Help resolve ethical dilemmas.
- Embed ethics in everyday decisions and actions.
- Provide a focus for education into ethical issues.
- Provide an independent source of support and challenge to others.
- Ensure compliance with organisational values and Code of Ethics.

***

**Meetings**:
The frequency and timing of meetings will ensure that the IEAB is able to fulfil its responsibilities relating to the functions specified. It is expected that the IEAB will meet quarterly with dates of meetings planned 12 months in advance. It is expected that meetings may take place online and in future it is likely that meetings will be of a blended format of some attending in person, some virtually. If meetings are held in person, then they will normally take place within the North Yorkshire Police or OPFCC estate. Meetings can be held within a working day or during the evening.

Lay Members are expected to be available to attend all meetings, unless there are reasonable explanations for not attending (i.e., sickness).
