Context
The strategic ambitions for Fair Work are set out in the Fair Work Convention’s Framework (2016). In response to this, the Scottish Government set out the actions it will take forward to achieve this agenda in its Fair Work Action Plan. Fair work is defined as work that offers effective voice, fulfilment, opportunity, respect and security.
In 2021 the Scottish Government published Fair Work First: guidance to support implementation which provides specific good practice examples of how to implement Fair Work.
Key agreements reached through SLB and the SPA People Committee were:
That Fair Work needs to be embedded into strategic development and delivery (i.e. mainstreamed into People Strategy).
A joint PS/SPA annual assessment against the Fair Work First Criteria to progress via internal Police Scotland governance prior to going to People Committee (with this being led by SPA Workforce Governance in collaboration with stakeholders similar to People Strategy Evaluation approach).
