Next Steps

Recognising the ambitions of Police Scotland and the Committee, during the forthcoming year, PSD are committed to
exploring how best to improve how the organisation captures, analyses and implements learning identified
internally and not only as a result of formal recommendations from independent investigation or CHR.

This would include learning identified through the 6 stage Complaint Handling process or non-referral assessments,
which is currently recorded but no co-ordinated means exist to extract and understand data. This will allow for
thematic analysis and post implementation review/exercising, measuring success or the need for further action.

As mentioned previously, further consideration and discussion is ongoing to fully explore and identify appropriate
methods to measure impact and outcomes of learning and prevention activity.
