Sex - key observations and insights
Key Observations and Insights
The data show the main issue in relation to representation relates to the fact that females are underrepresented at higher grades, which is contributing to a gender pay gap.
Progress and Next Steps
Discussions with diversity staff associations in this reporting period have identified the importance of MyCareer supporting effective career development/progression for staff as well as identifying mechanisms to support identification and resolution of issues that would prevent resignation. We will continue to engage on these and other issues in the upcoming reporting period.
In addition the EDI Action Plan (Appendix A) highlighted that work would progress with Police Scotland to understand steps being taken to appropriately record non-binary status with a completion date for June 2023. Consideration of this work continues.
