If necessary, it is also responsible for recovering control of any nuclear material that may have been lost to unauthorised persons, and ensuring the safe and secure movement of nuclear materials within the UK and internationally. The CNPA supports the delivery of the civil nuclear security programme overseen by DECC.
The Police Authority discharges its day-to-day functions through the CNPA Board, which is a Committee of the CNPA with both executive and non-executive representation.
The Chair is responsible to the Secretary of State and communications between the CNPA Board and the responsible Minister should normally be conducted through the Chair. He or she is responsible for ensuring that the Authority’s policies and actions support the responsible Minister’s and the Secretary of State’s wider strategic policies, and that CNPA’s affairs are conducted with probity.
As ambassador for the CNPA, the Chair will represent the Police Authority to the public, media and other stakeholders and will need to ensure transparent communication is given at all times. The Chair will also need to assess and manage the performance of members of the Police Authority, promoting the efficient and effective use of staff and other resources and promoting the highest standards of corporate governance.
