Policy Statements and Initiatives
WAG: A nationwide search has begun to find the most enterprising place in Wales, with the ‘Enterprising Wales competition’, which is looking for a location where enterprise is creating jobs and transforming communities.
The award celebrates local success. Whether through social cohesion, start-up business support, enterprise skills or championing enterprise in the community, the EW competition recognises & rewards local organisations that have worked together to drive the social and economic transformation of a place.
The winner of the EW competition will be entered into the UK wide competition – ‘Enterprising Britain’.

Newswire – HAC: In a report published last week, the Home Affairs Committee criticised the Independent Police Complaints Commission for failing to inspire trust & confidence in those it has dealt with and handling cases in a distant and non-empathetic manner.
Despite an ever-increasing workload the IPCC does little to prevent complaints against police behaviour in the first instance by improving forces' complaints procedures, and despite a budget of £35m p.a. the organisation lacks clear measures of success.
While the Commission has achieved some tangible and high-profile successes since its formation, the IPCC fails to inspire confidence in the independence of the process.
Investigations are handled in an unsatisfactory & non-transparent manner and the length of IPCC-managed investigations - up to 269 working days in some cases - does little to increase trust in the system.
