Background
This report provides pertinent updates since the last bi-annual report which was presented at SPA People Committee in November 2022.
Police Scotland has now produced our fourth 6 monthly Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Performance Report. It describes progress between October 2022 and March 2023 toward meeting the Joint Equality Outcomes for Policing 2021. It was presented to the Policing Together SOB on 09 May 2023 and the Strategic Leadership Board on 10 May 2023. The EDI Performance Reports are part of our suite of performance reports based on our current Performance Framework which includes measures of progress linked to our equality outcomes.
Following the launch of the Policing Together strategy on 30 September 2022, a process of mapping and de-confliction is ongoing to subsume the EDI Action Plan into the Strategy Implementation Plan and consider the links and alignment with the joint equality outcomes delivery. On completion of the mapping and de-confliction work, the EDI Performance Reporting will be evolved to align to the strategy and implementation plan.
The employment sections of the EDI Performance Report are also used to form the basis of the bi-annual EDI update to this Committee. The EDI reporting to the SPA People Committee will also therefore be reviewed as part of the wider EDI performance reporting to ensure it captures and aligns to the Policing Together Strategy and implementation plan.
