August 2015• Missing and absent children inspection fieldwork proposed for late Summer 2015.• Await decision in May, on whether force is selected for an inspection visit for Honour based

violence (HBV) . This is dependent on analysis by HMIC off our self-assessment submission.• PEEL force assessment scheduled for publication in February 2016.

Overall Summary:

• HMIC are increasing the inspection regime to feed the PEEL Programme and widening the scope of inspection, which means an increased burden in staff resources across the force to facilitate field work

• HMIC PEEL inspection scheduling is to become less flexible ,with visit timetables being rigidly structured, to accommodate the more complex nature and broader scope of future fieldwork visits.

• HMIC are increasing scrutiny on previous recommendations• It is recommended that the Force consider the changing HMIC Inspection regime and the potential strategy required by the changes.
