Baroness Buscombe (pictured), PCC Chairman, said: "Last year I initiated an independent governance review of the PCC to reflect on the way the organisation works and to make sure that we take account of both good practice elsewhere and wider public expectations.
"I am very grateful for the thorough, innovative and rigorous review that Vivien Hepworth and her team have undertaken. While the Commission needs to reflect carefully on the Panel's recommendations, I want to say right away that we are as an organisation committed to moving the PCC forward. This report now provides us with the impetus to do so."
