Meeting of the Scottish Police Authority - 23 March 2023
Date : 23 March 2023
Location : COSLA, Edinburgh
Creation of the Police Negotiating Board for Scotland
In my February 2023 report I confirmed legislation to implement PNBS would shortly progress with SPA staff developing a response, which would be reviewed and informed by SPA members currently on the PNB. A short consultation commenced on 28 February 2023 and closed on 13 March 2023. In the Authority response it was recognised that the proposed legislation would simply implement the intentions of Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 and therefore it was supported without any proposed amendments. As part of the Authority response some minor comments were outlined in relation to the proposed constitution and positive recognition was provided on the commitment to set out draft procedures for the PNBS to outline agreed ways of working. These procedures will be a key enabler to ensuring the PNBS operates as effectively and efficiently as possible for all parties going forward.
