Delivery Plan Development

Staff and officers across COSLA, Police Scotland and the Authority have worked to develop a partnership delivery plan which reflects the ambition of the partnership agreement. The actions contained in the delivery plan reflect priority areas of focus, ongoing partnership activity, and new areas of work.

Ongoing development of the delivery plan has been reported through the COSLA/SOLACE/Police Scotland/SPA engagement group, co-chaired by the chair of SOLACE and DCC Local Policing. This operational oversight shaped the direction of the delivery plan and allowed connection to be made to wider areas of work sitting with partners such as the Improvement Service.

As a partnership delivery plan, activity will be delivered collectively by COSLA, Police Scotland and the Authority as shown in the leadership column within the plan. The plan will continue to be regularly reported through internal governance structures, with an annual progress report prepared and considered by the COSLA/SOLACE/Police Scotland/SPA engagement group.

In additional to ongoing operational oversight and monitoring of the delivery plan through the engagement group, progress will also be reported through the COSLA Community Wellbeing Board and Leaders Forum as well as through this committee. Routes to widen engagement with other groups and delivery bodies will continue to be explored, with a particular focus on wider community planning bodies.
