The Centre’s National Engagement Group brings together experts from government departments, universities, charities and policing to support the Centre’s work.
The Group’s interdisciplinary expertise helps the Centre connect with key stakeholders and provides advice on policy, practice and research developments and opportunities across multiple sectors.
In particular, the Group supports the Centre in its work to implement its communications and impact strategy and ultimately to reshape how the police and other organisations work together in order to reduce harm among vulnerable people in society.
The National Engagement Group fulfils the role of an advisory board and has responsibility for overseeing the activities of the Centre outlined in its ESRC funding bid.
