Implications
Financial Implications
To date, there has been no financial implications as a result of running the consultation. The consultation is being undertaken in a cost-efficient way through using existing resource within Police Scotland – the engagement hub and professional research, engagement and insight personnel.
Personnel Implications
To date, the consultation has been achieved by existing in-house professional research, engagement and insight personnel. The continued success of the consultation and engagement programme is dependent on securing the existing resource within this area of business.
Legal Implications
All consultations are subject to Scottish Government (Ministerial) mandated and/or judicial review. A risk assessment has been applied to determine the scale and scope of individual estate site consultations using local knowledge and professional expertise with our strategy, insight and engagement team; to maintain public confidence in policing.
Reputational Implications
Done well, engagement builds confidence and trust in policing, with police legitimacy linked to ‘policing by consent’ as central in a democratic society. Engagement must be able to stand up to external scrutiny and can avoid the need for a judicial review.
Social Implications
The public and stakeholder engagement and consultation is designed to elicit potential impacts of the estates proposals on local communities.
Community Impact
The public and stakeholder engagement and consultation is designed to elicit potential impacts of the estates proposals on local communities.
Equalities Implications
The public and stakeholder engagement and consultation is designed within our equality, diversity and human rights framework and principles of practice so that anyone can participate.
Environment Implications
The consultation and engagement activities are designed with minimal impact through optimising the use of digital methods.
