Background
As reported previously, the Police Scotland response to the HMICS Thematic Inspection of Hate Crime included 15 recommendations. The management of these recommendations was governed by the Police Scotland Hate Crime Improvement Tactical Group, chaired by Chief Superintendent – Partnership, Prevention and Community Wellbeing Division (PPCW) and overseen by the Strategic Board.
In September 2022 a Potential Project Assessment incorporating the work associated with both the Hate Crime Improvement Plan (HCIP) and the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 (HCPOA) was submitted and approved. Consequently, an initial business case, recommending that a project team be implemented to focus on the delivery of the key objectives, has been created and will be submitted to Police Scotland’s Project Management Board in March 2023.There is currently no dedicated project team allocated to this work. It is being progressed as business as usual by the PPCW Equality and Diversity department.
