Local Police Plans - A Framework for Scrutiny Feedback

Overview

In 2022 the SPA and COSLA worked together with key partners to produce a framework document to support Elected Members in their scrutiny of Local Police Plans.  This activity was carried out in response to a recommendation contained in a report published by the SPA, COSLA and Police Scotland in March 2022, which reviewed Local Police Plans.

An initial version of the document was presented to the COSLA Community Wellbeing Board on 2nd December 2022 where it was agreed that the framework document would be shared for feedback at the COSLA Police Scrutiny Conveners' Forum on 13th December 2022.  The document was endorsed by both groups on the understanding that it be regarded as a 'living document', adapted in line with feedback from users.

This survey aims to capture views - based on experience - from Elected Members and Local Authority officials supporting the scrutiny of local policing and Local Police Plans.  Your feedback will essential as part of a regular review of the Framework to ensure it meets user needs. Views will be taken into account by the SPA and COSLA, and it is intended that the framework document will next be adapted in the Summer of 2023. 

No personal data is requested and more than one response can be submitted.  A copy of the SPA's Privacy Policy can be here.
