PSO 2800 Annexes – Page 19CHAPTER 7 – COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT7.1 The legal obligation for establishments to consult local communities about their policies andfunctions and their impact on people of different racial groups is set out in chapters 2 and 5.There is a related need to communicate widely in promoting our work in order to encouragegood relations between people of all racial groups.7.2 This is particularly important with regard to groups that have historically beendisproportionately represented in the criminal justice system, such as black and minorityethnic people and Gypsies and Travellers. This chapter sets out the way in whichestablishments should go about engaging with these communities.7.3. Some of the other benefits of effective community engagement are:Identification of the different communities that exist in the area of the establishment;Partnership working with other agencies;Involvement in events outside of the prison;External assistance in impact assessments, giving us a credible community perspective;Community groups working within the prison to raise awareness of relevant issues or toprovide services that are otherwise unavailable;External monitoring and scrutiny of the work of the establishment resulting in increasedtrust and confidence of local communities;Recruitment of a more diverse workforce that reflects the local community.Establishments must have a Community Engagement Strategy that sets out how they willcommunicate and consult with the local community on race equality issues.7.4. The strategy must reflect the needs of the prisoner population and the situation in the localarea. It should be appropriately linked to the establishment‟s more general work with thevoluntary and community sector.7.5 The strategy must set out how the establishment will work towards the following high-levelobjectives:Building the trust and confidence of local BME and other minority communities;Consulting meaningfully on policies and functions and their impact on people of differentracial groups;Increasing mutual understanding between the establishment and local BME and otherminority communities.7.6 The strategy must include a statement of the business requirements of the establishment interms of the above high-level objectives.7.7 In formulating or revising the strategy, establishments must undertake a mapping exerciseof existing community engagement work. A database of existing links must be producedsetting out:Name and contact details of partner organisation;Contact point within the establishment;Nature of partner organisation;Purpose of contact / joint working;Benefits to establishment;Funding / benefits provided to partner organisation;Nature of contact / joint working;Details and dates of contact;Evaluation of contact to date;Plans for future contact.This must be revised annually.Issue No. 264 issue date 25/09/06
