Forensics Services Committee - 4 May 2023

Date : 04 May 2023

Location : online


Background

The Forensic Strategy Delivering excellence in forensic science for a safe and resilient Scotland was published in September 2021 and sets out the direction of the organisation to deliver our key strategic outcomes of:

Our people are supported through a positive working environment, enabling them to provide excellent forensic services
FS is sustainable, adaptable and prepared for future challenges
FS delivers high-quality, ethical services and leads in order to advance forensic services
FS works collaboratively with partners to serve the needs of the public and Criminal Justice in Scotland

A Performance Framework is a tool designed to ensure our approach to managing performance is outcome focused, flexible and has a forward thinking approach where new and emerging issues are considered.

Forensic Services have translated the strategic outcomes of our Forensic Strategy into measures which will align with the Scottish Government’s Justice Outcomes and the strategic aims of Police Scotland, COPFS and PIRC. The Performance Framework will demonstrate the value Forensic Services brings to the Criminal Justice System, as an outcome focused planning and performance approach to drive alignment and priorities.
