Bakgrund

Following a review in 2016 it was decided to clarify the amounts paid to the different Independent Representatives appointed by the PCC. Each scheme has been reviewed and updated for 2021/2022 and is set out below, copies of each scheme is available on request as per 1-5:

  1. Independent Custody Visitors
  2. Audit Committee Members
  3. Independent Members for Misconduct Panels
  4. Legally Qualified Chairs for Misconduct Panels & PATs
  5. Police Appeal Tribunal Independent Member

In most cases the PCC is bound by the rate set by the Home Office (Independent Members for Misconduct Panels and Police Appeals Tribunals, Legally Qualified Chairs for Misconduct Panels and Police Appeals Tribunals. The Chair of the Joint Audit Committee receives a fixed annual allowance agreed when appointed, however, the PCC is able to increase the Attendance Allowance for all other Audit Committee Members and the repayment rate for subsistence or child care expenses for Audit Committee Members and Independent Custody Visitors in line with the CPI inflation rate for September 2021 of 0.5%.

Rekommendation:

That the PCC follows the Home Office rate for Independent Members for Misconduct Panels and Police Appeal Tribunals, Legally Qualified Chairs for Misconduct Panels and Police Appeal Tribunals, and increases the Attendance Allowance for Independent Audit Committee Members and the repayment rate for subsistence or child care expenses for Audit Committee Members and Independent Custody Visitors in line with the CPI inflation rate (September 2021) of 0.5%.
