She is a member of the Safeguarding Panel for the Church of England and is on the board of governors at De Montford University, Leicester. She campaigned to the then Home Secretary Teresa May, for all UK police forces to be inspected on how they are performing in the field of forced marriage and honour based abuse, leading to the first HMIC (Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabularies) inspection into all 43 police forces (2015) which has led to significant improvements in policing responses. Jasvinder was a peer inspector during this process and served on the board of advisors. This inspection led to clear recommendations being led by the Home Office (2019).

In 2018, Jasvinder made allegations of sexual misconduct against Lord Lester of Herne Hill. This resulted in an investigation by the Commissioner on behalf of the House of Lords Committee for Privileges and Conduct to which the Commissioner reported. Her complaint was upheld by the House of Lords privileges and Conduct Committee. However, on 15 November 2018, on a vote (101-78) on the floor of the House of Lords, the recommendation of the Committee that Lord Lester be suspended from membership of the House of Lords was not accepted. This was on the basis that the investigating procedure had not been fair, as it did not allow cross examination, even though this was a rule agreed by the House of Lords. On Monday 19th November 2018, a letter signed by 74 members of the House of Lords staff expressed their 'dismay' in the outcome 'and the tone of many of the comments made in the debate' and referred to the 'power imbalance' between staff and members'. As a result of a second debate on 17th December 2018
