The overall purpose of the project is to provide an evidence base which will inform, and challenge, the force's improvement plans. The intent is for the work to take two particular themes - recognition of vulnerability with a specific focus on contact and effective investigations and to provide an assessment of the evidence base for each theme. This will involve a rapid evidence assessment of the published literature relevant to each of the themes together with the identification of best or promising practice elsewhere. The results of this project will be shared with the CPRL membership through workshops and evidence cafes to connect the academic literature with policy and practice on the ground.
It is with great sadness that we have to let colleagues know of the premature death of our dear friend Dr Nicky Miller in mid-December.
