Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 27 June 2024
Date : 27 June 2024
Location : Caledonian Suite, COSLA, Verity House, 19 Haymarket Yards, Edinburgh, EH12 5BH
Background
On 30 November 2023 the Police Authority approved both the ‘People Strategy 2024-2027’ and ‘Strategic Workforce Plan 2024-2027’. Both the People Strategy and Strategic Workforce Plan (SWP) had comprehensive implementation plans to ensure focus on the actions, milestones and timelines of delivery of commitments.
On 30 May 2024, the People Committee received an update on year one priorities for the delivery of these plans with a recognition and commitment for future work to integrate wider workforce related strategies, plans, recommendations into the implementation plan.
The plan over the three-year cycle is being developed to consider and support:
• The three-year service and organisational transformation programme
• Steps required to streamline activity across Policing Together, People Strategy and SWP
• The need for future iterations of the SWP
• Updated Equality Outcomes (due for review in April 2025)
• Responses to audits/inspections
• The ability to respond to insights from Workforce Dashboards
Following the delivery of the People Strategy and SWP the approach to reporting into People Committee is being reviewed with a focus on ensuring it is streamlined and outcome focused. At present People Committee receives various quarterly, bi-annual and annual reports with a commitment for the following to be reported to the Authority Board on an annual basis:
• Workforce Data
• Wellbeing
• Health and Safety
• Equality Diversity and Inclusion (Policing Together, mainstreaming and Equality Outcomes)
The approach to future annual reporting to the Authority Board will be considered as part of the ongoing review of reporting of the approach to People Committee reporting.
