Background & Updates
From August 2022, the Sex Equality and Tackling Misogyny Group, led by DCC Malcolm Graham, undertook colleague engagement to understand the extent of the issue in Police Scotland, using an evidence-led approach to discover how best to tackle sexism and misogyny.
Colleagues were invited to share their experience of sexism and misogyny at work through an anonymous online survey and submit suggestions on how to create a more welcoming and inclusive working environment.
The Sex Equality and Tackling Misogyny Delivery Group, led by ACC Emma Bond, have developed a plan to respond to the insights and work stream leads are in place to enable progress in key areas.
Updates
The action plan which is directing the current and future work of the Sex Equality and Tackling Misogyny Delivery Group is attached as appendix one to this report.
Action is being taken under the four key areas – Culture and Leadership; Communication and Engagement; Working Practices and Estates; and Governance and Reporting. A high-level update on progress is provided for each.
