Implications
REPUTATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
There are reputational implications. Building and maintaining a service which improves the experiences of all communities, including our own officers and staff, will positively enhance the reputation of Police Scotland.
SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Police Scotland’s plans are designed to further diversify the workforce by encouraging people from under-represented groups to consider a career in policing. Having a diverse workforce that is truly representative of communities will increase public confidence and legitimacy of Police Scotland.
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Without a well skilled, supported, and motivated workforce the confidence placed in service delivery and the legitimacy of policing communities could be compromised.
EQUALITIES IMPLICATIONS
The content of this paper will positively support EDI in the workplace ensuring Police Scotland is accessible as an employer to all our communities.
