Engagement with Trade Unions and Staff Associations
My engagement with the statutory staff associations, trade unions and diversity associations continues. Since our meeting last month, Tom Halpin and I have met with the Scottish Police Federation (SPF). This meeting largely focused on the SPF’s statutory remit in relation to the efficiency of the service, with aspects in relation to officer welfare being predominately being discussed at the People Committee. Key discussion points were the demands placed on policing, the importance of body worn video and the vital role evidence, research and cross jurisdictional learning can have on the effective delivery of policing.
Fiona McQueen and I also met with Unite to discuss current issues and priorities for its members and hear their views. I am grateful for their continued efforts and constructive dialogue.
