Background
The Policing Together (PT) 6 Monthly Performance Report is submitted to the PT Strategic Oversight Board (SOB) on a 6 monthly basis incorporating 2 quarterly cycles.
Police Scotland’s progress of delivering the PT Strategy has been embedded into the PT 6 Monthly Performance Report (Appendix A). The report will continue to develop going forward based on feedback and evolutions in the data space. It will aim to enable concise, visual, impact-focused reporting supported by key measures.
The PT 6 Monthly Performance Report at Appendix A together with Appendix A1 and A2, comprises of updates in relation to mainstreaming and delivery against Policing Together and the Joint Equality Outcomes for Policing. It describes progress between April 2024 and September 2024.
This six-monthly reporting supplements the updates included in quarterly performance reporting and provides additional detail and focus from an equality, diversity and inclusion perspective.
The mainstreaming section of the report provides key strategic updates which are aligned to Policing Together. Key reporting against the Joint Equality Outcomes for Policing are included within the report to ensure ability to comply with legislative reporting requirements.
The report is structured to cover
• Police Scotland commitments, (objectives)
• Actions, (we said we would)
• Achievements/impact, (we did, we achieved)
• Next steps, (we will).
This method of reporting is consistent with the SPA and Police Scotland’s approach to Joint Equality Outcomes for Policing Mainstreaming and progress reporting.
Visual representation of progress towards the Policing Together Strategy, under the original 4 Pillars of Policing Together, is presented within the report at Appendix A1 and A2.
GAP ANALYSIS
As Police Scotland enter the final 4 months of delivery of the 2021-2025 Equality Outcomes gap analysis has been carried out by the lead business areas; People and Development E&D, Policing Together Diversity Unit and the Public Protection Unit to understand which ‘we will’ commitments have been delivered and which still requires attention. This process of gap analysis and identification of priorities is also assisting the development of the SPA and Police Scotland’s Equality Outcomes for 2025-29 which are legislatively required to be published by 30 April 2025. An Equality Outcomes Setting Oversight Group runs monthly to monitor the progress in developing Equality Outcomes for 2025-29.
