MAPPA York & North Yorkshire seeks voluntary lay advisor
North Yorkshire and City Of York Multi-Agency MAPPA Strategic Management Board is looking to recruit a new lay advisor to sit on its management board.
Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) is the means by which local agencies work together to best protect York and North Yorkshire from the serious harm that some offenders may still present after being convicted for offences of a sexual or violent nature, and prevent further harm to victims. MAPPA is overseen by a Strategic Management Board, which includes two voluntary lay advisors who play a critical role in reviewing and monitoring all areas of MAPPA, and importantly, an independent view point.
The post is a voluntary part-time post and the post holder will be expected to attend at least four meetings of the Strategic Management Board per year with a requirement to attend national meetings, contribute to local sub groups and undertake familiarisation, training and reading to enable them to understand and contribute to the meetings. Ideally the candidate would be committed to serving a minimum period of 3 to 4 years, although this is not essential. The post holder will not have contact with offenders.
The post does carry an entitlement to legitimate expenses such as travel and refreshments and compensation for loss of earnings/childcare expenses may also be provided.
The post is subject to clearance through the Criminal Records Bureau vetting procedures.
Interested? Think you have got what it takes?
