Next Steps
It is anticipated that the Authority will have a new contract in place with a supplier by the summer of 2025, enabling continuity with the existing pace and regularity of polling. Authority staff will engage with Police Scotland’s procurement team in the coming months.
Deeper-dive analysis continues, with six sweeps of data now being available. Last year Authority staff completed deeper dives into women’s views on policing, and the views of people living in rural and remote Scotland, at that time using four sweeps of data. Two deeper dives are currently in progress: one on the views of young people (including children aged 16-17 years) and one on the tackling of antisocial behaviour in Scotland (for which focus group data has also been collected). It is anticipated that these reports will be available to the Policing Performance Committee as from June 2025.
