Background
Between March 2023 and September 2023, HMICS conducted a thematic review of organisational culture in Police Scotland. The report was published on 7 December 2023. The report identified 11 recommendations and 23 areas for development.
On 29 August 2024 Police Scotland presented its Improvement Plan to the SPA People Committee. It was recognised that activity was already underway or planned which contributed to addressing the recommendations.
A Culture Oversight Group of key internal stakeholders developed the Improvement Plan. The Group included representation from the SPA and engaged directly with HMICS. In agreement with HMICS the Areas for Development were aligned alongside the recommendations with the recognition that the Plan would continue to evolve as work progressed.
