	Gwent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gwent is the area of south-easternmost Wales, bordering on the Welsh Marches of southwest England.
		"Gwent" was revived as an administrative county of Wales from 1974 to 1996.
		It was abolished and replaced with various other entities, although it remains as one of the preserved counties of Wales used for ceremonial purposes, and the name 'Gwent' survives in various titles, e.g., Gwent Police, Royal Gwent Hospital, Gwent Theatre, and the Newport Gwent Dragons rugby team.

	Uncorrected Evidence 1182
		If you look at policing anywhere in Wales compared with England then the levels of crime in Wales, the levels of satisfaction and confidence in Wales and the levels of crime per head of population, the quality of life in Wales is better than England if you use any of those measures.
		Policing gets sucked in on every Friday and Saturday night, and in some of the valley communities on a Sunday, to deal with the licensing type of behaviour of people in drink whose behaviour and morals drop to a low.
		That is an opportunity to tie together the joined-upness on a Gwent basis that perhaps has not been there in the past and in the presentation at our next meeting to look at how we all work together in dealing with persistent and prolific offenders.

	House of Commons - Welsh Affairs - Written Evidence
		The police have always resisted the premise that the existence of a statutory "fit and proper" person requirement should automatically entail the disclosure of criminal records.
		Police forces are advised to consult both their own records and the national record; they are also expected to seek information from any other police forces in whose area the person may have lived at any time during the past five years.
		However, the tendency to regard police checks as a means of ensuring that prospective employees are "safe" may cause employers to seek checks on a wider range of posts than is justified.
