The Panel covers the geographical areas of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, and Worcestershire. Support for the Panel is provided by Worcestershire County Council.

The Panel wishes to reflect the breadth of communities in West Mercia and welcomes applications from all eligible people (there are some exceptions which are listed in the application pack).
Applications from people with experience (in paid or unpaid roles) in community safety, victim support, criminal justice and related issues would be particularly welcomed.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
At the start of another New Year, what better time to make a new resolution to examine how we can protect ourselves from fraudsters, strengthen our protection and do all we can to avoid being a victim of the scammers in the coming months.
There is no doubt the criminals will be planning their next moves to defraud any unsuspecting members of the public, and their methods are becoming more sophisticated and harder to spot. The use of AI to generate messages, images and clone voices increases the need for greater vigilance in all we do online.
What can we do?
