Part 2: The Domestic Abuse Commissioner Section 13: Strategic plans
This section requires the Commissioner to prepare a strategic plan to provide Parliament, Ministers and the public with information about their priorities, future work programme, and which issues they intend to report on. It is for the Commissioner to determine the content and duration of each strategic plan subject to meeting the minimum requirements specified in subsections (2) and (3). In preparing any plan, the Commissioner is required to consult the Home Secretary, the Advisory Board and any other persons the Commissioner thinks fit (subsection (6)). The Commissioner must arrange to lay the plan before Parliament (subsection (7)). It is open to the Commissioner to revise the plan mid-term, for example to reflect a change of priorities, subject to consultation (subsection (5)).
