Membership Group meetings are held each quarter online with our member forces. The purpose of the Membership Group is to make key decisions about the Centre to ensure it reflects the collaborative partnership. We also hold seminars and develop and explore research projects and findings in these meetings. The group will also share its evidence-based practice in forces.
