Rolling Action Log and Matters Arising

Fiona McQueen sought clarity on delivery of actions in relation to the Performance Framework,  the proposed presentation of trends (action 20222410–FSC – 003) and timings to discharge actions 20220808-FSC – 003 and 20222504 – FSC – 003. Fiona Douglas (FDouglas) referred to the Biometrics Landscape and advised that the action related to forensic services being able to weed Scottish Fingerprints in compliance with legislation which requires a change to be made in the PNC in England and Wales. A member of staff has been seconded to the Home Office to report this work, however, there was priotity one work which queue jumped the planned activity. It is expected that the work to apply changes to the PNC will be completed in July to allow that activity to be undertaken.

The Chair asked that going forward these updates are provided to members within action logs to ensure robust governance .
