Professional Boundaries – Bi-annual Progress Update

CSCHenderson provided an overview of a report which updated members regarding ongoing activity in the area of Professional Boundaries. During discussions the following matters were raised:

Members sought clarity on how PS intend to identify and evaluate this activity from an assurance point of view. CSCHenderson advised that work was ongoing with colleagues from Strategy and Innovation to provide support and assistance in devising a framework to measure success or otherwise. Engagement with staff associations on a monthly basis will also feed into this.

Members sought clarity on whether a different perspective was now being taken to this work following the Chief Constable’s comments around institutionalised discrimination. CSCHenderson assured members PS are continuously and actively looking at ways to enhance this piece of work. The approach has been changed, however, the approach is broad and inclusive with learning being gained at all times.

Members NOTED the report
