Views of Policing
An essential component of upholding the rights of children and policing by consent is listening to, and learning from, the children and young people that Police Scotland serve. Police Scotland frequently engages with children and young people in varying forms to understand their thoughts and opinions.
The User Experience Survey is undertaken monthly by an independent market research agency via SMS, contacting a random sample of individuals who have contacted the police each month. The survey is only sent to people aged over 16. Alongside this, the Your Police Survey is a continuous annual survey designed to measure and improve understanding of public confidence in policing. The sample is representative of Scotland’s population – in age, gender, region and disability.
