Date : 21 March 2024

Location : Caledonian Suite, COSLA, Verity House, 19 Haymarket Yards, Edinburgh, EH12 5BH


COMMITTEE CHAIRS’ REPORT

Members considered the report which provided an update on business progressed since the last Authority meeting through the:
• People Committee
• Policing Together Oversight Group
• Policing Performance Committee
• Resources Committee
• Forensic Services
• Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee

In addition to the written reports provided, Resources Committee Chair Grant Macrae (GMacrae) commented on the meeting which took place on 20 February, highlighting:
• The Committee were assured by the evidence that mitigations put in place to contain the overspend were having the desired impacts, and confidence was high that savings would be delivered.
• Assurance was provided that delivery of planned savings from VR/VER releases and the additional funding should mean a balanced budget can be set.
• The Committee recognised the effort by Police Scotland and SPA to reduce the overspend figure from the original £18.9m projection. However, the Committee requested lessons learned are captured and reported to a future meeting.
• Members did not take assurance from the data within the Q3 Transformational Benefits Report, as it did not demonstrate the link between benefits delivery and the impacts on delivery of operational policing. SPA and Police Scotland colleagues will collaborate to develop a new reporting format to provide future assurances.
• The Committee considered the Full Business Case and associated contract award for Body Worn Video and recommended it to Scottish Government for approval. Members asked that a 3-year review be built into the project timeline to give the Authority an opportunity to seek assurance that the project has progressed as expected.

The Board RESOLVED to:
• NOTE the report.
