Further Detail
This paper comes from an action at the previous meeting, where Police Scotland was tasked with reviewing, amending and providing a progress update on our Hate Crime Improvement Plan. Delivery has been challenging principally due to the reallocation of staff to assist with Op Talla in January and February, greater abstractions to events and loss of staff due to retirement and transfer, which could not have been factored in.
Since this committee last met, the associated Strategic Oversight Group has reviewed the previous plan with internal business areas and developed a new Hate Crime Improvement Plan. Due to the latest COS Crime delivery projections, we have separated the improvement plan into those recommendations which dependent on COS delivery, and those which are not.
On 23 August 2022, HMICS approved and closed 3 of the 15 recommendations, namely 4, 7 and 11 as they are now complete.
The new Hate Crime Improvement plan and associated progress can be found in the Appendix A. Included are details of the new target delivery date and a progression summary for each recommendation highlighting varying timescales, inter-dependencies, governance structures, external stakeholder engagement and levels of complexity.
