Equality Objective 3

 

EQUALITY OBJECTIVE 3:  To improve the satisfaction of all the communities we serve in the services we provide.

 

Priorities

  • Continue to build equality into our processes for managing performance
  • Ensure we act openly and can be held to account, by consulting and engaging with our communities
  • Ensure that our staff understand how levels of satisfaction can differ according to the perceptions and needs of diverse individuals and communities
  • We will treat each service caller as an individual, listen to and understand their needs and expectations – developed by analysing survey results and developing contact strategy and scripts accordingly
  • We will consult to understand the needs and expectations of all our communities (through surveys and active and meaningful engagement with community groups)
  • We will demonstrate how complaints and dissatisfaction are addressed

 

Outcomes

  • Publication of quarterly People, Confidence and Equality Performance Report to enable public scrutiny of our performance in relation to equality
  • Continued progress with equality strategy action plan including production and development of performance data pack and equality objectives
  • Implementation of engagement strategy (joint with DPA) and engagement toolkit
  • Equality Champions to be a single point of contact for front line staff for tactical advice in relation to equality
  • Police Consultation Groups to provide effective and representative engagement with minority groups
  • Provide an effective on-line feedback facility to enable individuals to give us their suggestions for ways in which we can provide an even better policing service

 

Measures

  • Outcomes from engagement with Police Consultation Groups
  • Number of complaints broken down by protected groups
  • Parity of satisfaction across diverse groups (User Satisfaction Surveys)
  • Review of community plans to identify engagement with diverse groups
  • Analysis of activity undertaken by the Safer Schools and Communities Team
  • Review of feedback from our online facility to identify areas for improvement and any inequalities of service

 

Measures are presented in the quarterly People, Confidence and Equality Performance Report
