The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery is today inviting the public to have their say on how it can embed a continuous trauma informed approach when its operations begin.

Kate Meynell, Chair of the National Police Chiefs Council Homicide Working Group and Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police will chair a new External Assurance Group (EAG) that will independently scrutinise the Commission’s proposed methodologies and approaches for carrying out its investigations.

The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery is now recruiting for frontline roles who will provide support to requesting victims, survivors and their families and who will carry out the ICRIR’s investigations. It is seeking experienced professionals to carry out these new roles, following a trauma informed approach. This is part of preparatory work to hire and train dedicated and expert officers to carry out the Commission’s work from the summer.

At its first full Board meeting earlier today, the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery (ICRIR) resolved all of its work must follow the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). 

In preparation for the Commission's establishment as an independent body, its draft Code of Conduct and other key governance documents have been published for comment.
