Covid-19 PandemicA national Community Impact Assessmentand an Equality and Human Rights ImpactAssessment (EqHRIA) has been developedto allow us to consider wider needs andimpacts on our policing activity. EqHRIAprocesses continue to be refined to ensurethat they reflect the changing nature ofPolice Scotland’s response to COVID-19 andhow that impacts on certain sectors andcommunities. We continue to deliver;The last year has seen significant pressuresand change for our officers and staff andcommunities across Scotland due toCOVID-19. In February 2020, the ChiefConstable implemented a commandstructure and strategy for Police Scotland’sresponse to COVID-19 in Scotland, underOperation TALLA.Operation TALLA has seen the developmentof a number of contingencies recognisingthe unprecedented nature of the pandemicand the significant impact it continues tohave on people’s lives.

Section 1 – MainstreamingPolice Scotland have focused on developingour mainstreaming approach at a strategiclevel and have seen improvements in thisarea since the last reporting period. Whileour approach to tactical matters alsofocuses on mainstreaming Equality, Diversityand Inclusion into all relevant work, we haveprovided our tactical level updates in sectiontwo of this report set against our EqualityOutcomes to avoid duplication of reporting.Evidence in Practice – The DeputyChief Constable (DCC) sponsor for racerecently held a series of ‘Talk Truth toPower’ sessions where officers and stafffrom ethnic minority backgrounds wereinvited to talk directly to the DCC abouttheir lived experiences of workingfor Police Scotland. The officers andstaff openly discussed their personalexperiences in a safe space and toexpress what action they felt couldsupport the organisation in creating amore inclusive culture. Following thesesessions the DCC shared the learningwith other members of the executiveteam and supported the developmentof a BME action plan which sets out theaction that we will take to create aninclusive culture that attracts, developsand retains a diverse and representativeworkforce.LeadershipWe are committed to developing leadershipat all levels and have a leadership frameworkin place to develop leaders who are visible,approachable, supportive, act as mentorsand who coach and develop talent in theorganisation. This framework highlightsthat our leaders will recognise the value inharnessing diverse and different thinkingand will support and encourage thedevelopment of all our people, at everyopportunity, across the organisation. Theywill create environments where innovationand change is enabled with our people’swell-being at the heart of decision making.Strategy, Planning andPerformanceIn order to promote diversity and inclusionour leadership team have establishedexecutive level sponsors for a numberof protected characteristic groups. Thecreation of these sponsors sets out a strongexecutive level commitment to equality,diversity and inclusion and acts as anexample to all levels of management acrossPolice Scotland. The executive sponsorswork closely with our Equality and Diversityspecialists and diversity staff associationsand advocate the priorities of theseprotected group at an executive level.In order to integrate mainstreaming, we areworking on embedding equality, diversity,inclusion and human rights into all ofour strategies, plans and performanceframework. This strategic approach aimsto ensure that equality, diversity andinclusion is captured in strategy, deliveredthrough normal business planning andreported through our national performanceframework. In addition, specific Equality andDiversity plans and reports are developed asrequired to complement the organisation’splanning and performance mechanisms andprovide a specific focus where required.6BACKNEXTCONTENTSMAINSTREAMING & EQUALITY OUTCOMES PROGRESS 2021

Policing for a safe, protected and resilient Scotland2020 saw the launch of a new JointStrategy for Policing, Policing for a safe,protected and resilient Scotland, whichsets out the kind of police service webelieve we should be and that we should allbe working towards.Strategic Outcome2020 – 2023Outcome 1 – Threatsto public safetyand wellbeing areresolved by a proactiveand responsivepolice serviceThis strategy reflects our commitment toequality, diversity and inclusion and providesa strong platform to continue to build afairer and more inclusive police service.Our strategic outcomes, which form part ofthis strategy, strongly align to our EqualityOutcomes 2017 – 2021:Equality Outcome 2017 – 2021Equality Outcome 2 – All incidents involving harassment ofpeople based on their protected characteristics are recordedand subject to a holistic assessment of wellbeing concernsand needs to influence wider multi-agency investigation,intervention and support tailored to individual needs, and toprevent repeat victimisation.Equality Outcome 3 – Victims of gender-based violence/abuse are safer and are confident that the police areresponsive to their needs.Outcome 2 – Theneeds of localcommunities areaddressed througheffective servicedeliveryEquality Outcome 4 – People from and across protectedgroups are meaningfully engaged with us and their viewscontribute to service improvements.Outcome 3 – Thepublic, communitiesand partners areengaged, involved andhave confidence inpolicingEquality Outcome 1 – Victims, witnesses and partner agenciesfeel more confident in reporting hate incidents through avariety of methods.Outcome 4 – Ourpeople are supportedthrough a positiveworking environmentenabling them to servethe publicEquality Outcome 6 – We have a workforce that is morereflective of the communities we serve.Outcome 5 – PoliceScotland is sustainable,adaptable andprepared for futurechallengesEquality Outcome 5 – Everyone accesses services,communication and information from Police Scotland in waysor methods that best suit their needsEquality Outcome 7 – We have a workplace where officersand staff feel valued and respected and have their needs metappropriately.This alignment ensures that our service wide priorities drive progress in relation to equality,diversity and inclusion and paves the way for effective mainstreaming through our planningand performance mechanisms.7BACKNEXTCONTENTSMAINSTREAMING & EQUALITY OUTCOMES PROGRESS 2021

Annual Police Plan 2020Enabling StrategiesOur Annual Police Plan 2019/20 (APP) isframed around the strategic outcomes thatdescribe the impact and difference PoliceScotland aims to make to the lives of peopleacross Scotland.Underpinning the Annual Police Plan is arange of enabling strategies at businessarea level. Our approach to strategydevelopment ensures that Equality &Diversity is a key consideration and thatwe assess the impact of our strategicdirection. These assessments are alsoused to inform the development ofsupporting delivery plans and actions.This work is an ongoing journey and isgradually improving as each of the enablingstrategies is developed or reviewed.The plan describes clearly how we willprioritise our resources towards the issuesthat cause the most harm to people andcommunities. This ensures we have thegreatest impact by outlining our objectivesand our activity across our service.Mainstreaming into this plan thereforeensures that equality, diversity and inclusionremains an organisational priority. In thisregard, our Annual Police Plan 2020/21included two wide reaching actions relatingto equality and diversity:Evidence In Practice – Our PeopleStrategy – Empower, Enable andDevelop Our People (2018 – 2021)includes the equality considerationsidentified through the EqHRIA withinthe strategy document itself. Thisaims to ensure that the considerationsare clearly visible to those driving thestrategy forward and built into thedelivery of the strategy. This strategyis now under-review again and weare building on this initial successto include clear alignment to ouremployment equality outcomes withinthe revised strategy. Use high quality Equality and HumanRights Impact Assessments (EqHRIA)to ensure that policy and practicesin policing proactively consider thepotential impact on equality andhuman rights Promote equality and diversity, bothexternally and internally, strivingto exceed the requirements of theScottish Public Sector Equality DutyThese actions are owned across the serviceand ensure that every business area buildsrelevant Equality & Diversity actions intotheir local plans.Performance FrameworkThe Police Scotland and Scottish PoliceAuthority performance framework is fullyaligned to the strategic outcomes andobjectives set out in the Joint Strategy andthe APP. This framework provides the meansto monitor and measure progress on ourstrategic outcomes and priorities for policing.Our commitment to mainstreaming willcontinue to be reflected in future AnnualPolice Plans and other service plans.The alignment of our strategic outcomeswith our equality outcomes and theinclusion of Equality & Diversity actionsin our annual plans therefore supportsimproved mainstreaming into ourperformance reporting practices.

GovernancePerformance reports are provided publiclyto the SPA on a quarterly basis. In addition,an annual performance report measuringprogress against agreed outcomes isprovided to the Chief Constable andto the Scottish Police Authority.Our strategic governance structuresfor equality, diversity, inclusion andhuman rights are comprised of anoverarching strategic oversight boardwith two supporting groups – one with aservice delivery focus and one coveringemployment matters. These meetings areall chaired at executive level and provideforums to focus on key equality, diversity,inclusion and human rights priorities.We made a commitment to mainstreamingrelevant Equality & Diversity reporting intoperformance reports in the Quarter OnePerformance Report 2019-2020.The equality, diversity and inclusionfocused meetings are aligned to theorganisational priorities and also escalateto the relevant governance board toensure successful mainstreaming asoutlined in the chart over the page.

Procurement Communications and Engagement– which supports effectivemainstreaming across the servicethrough sharing of data findings,priorities, lessons learned and bestpractice etc.We continue to undertake procurement inaccordance with the Scottish Governmentguidelines and requirements; the process isfollowed, from initiation to the awarding ofcontract.As part of the procurement process, weutilise a sourcing strategy for each project.Within this strategy, specialists and clientdepartments examine any requirementsor necessity for EqHRIAs relating to thegoods or services we are procuring.This has helped to ensure that equalityconsiderations are an integral part of theprocurement decision-making processand that the needs and impact of relevantgroups are fully considered.Equality & Diversity External ServiceDelivery GroupThe Equality & Diversity External ServiceDelivery group provides is a link betweenthe Equality, Diversity, Inclusion & HumanRights Strategic Oversight Board and thepublic service delivery functions of PoliceScotland. Its primary responsibility is togather evidence of work undertaken tomeet Police Scotland’s service deliveryfocused Equality Outcomes, and wherenecessary to drive progress to assist inmeeting our Equality Outcomes, buildingan evidence-based understanding of ourquality of service to diverse communities.Further stages of the procurementprocess are planned in advance to ensureequality and diversity are considered.Procurement are part of the Clothingand Equipment Working Group wherethere is representation from our staffassociations. This has provided procurementthe opportunity to hear opinions andperspectives from a diverse group forconsideration and also allows procurementto feedback improvements/changesto clothing and equipment that areplanned. For example, at the specificationdevelopment stage and also during usertrials and evaluation for clothing and/orequipment, consideration is given to stylesand fits that suit individual needs, to ensurethat any issues that may inhibit a user/wearer of the final selected product areaddressed prior to award.The group promotes a corporate andconsistency of policy and practice acrossPolice Scotland in matters relating toEquality & Diversity service delivery tothe public, and identifies items of goodpractice across the force area, and outwith,and encourages implementation for allappropriate divisions.The group also examines and draws onfindings of EQHRIAs, external researchstudies (by universities and other agencies),and Police Scotland’s own managementinformation and research, to identify areasfor improvement in Equality & Diversityservice delivery to the public.Following the tendering element ofthe procurement process, as describedabove, there is ongoing contract suppliermanagement which can influence thissubject over the course of the contract.Community Benefits can be a scored criteriawithin the tender whereby an offer canbe evaluated by evidencing communitybenefits that could be provided or realisedover the course of the contract.All matters regarding Equality &Diversity business are discussed and ifappropriate, escalated to the Equality,Diversity, Inclusion & Human RightsStrategic Oversight Board and/or otherappropriate governance boards.11BACKNEXTCONTENTSMAINSTREAMING & EQUALITY OUTCOMES PROGRESS 2021

Equality and Human RightsImpact Assessment (EqHRIA)– a tool for mainstreamingContract supplier management is used tomonitor and encourage the delivery of anycommunity benefits. Communities are notjust considered to be a geographic areabut can encompass communities that areidentified by protected characteristics.EqHRIA is an evidence-based assessmentthat ensures potential equality and humanrights impacts and opportunities areidentified and acted upon as part of adecision making process. It is a key toolto support mainstreaming of equality andhuman rights considerations into all policingpolicies, processes, practices and decisions.Evidence In Practice – Procurementof BSLDuring 2020 it was recognised thatBritish Sign Language (BSL) interpretingwas not available through existingagreements for the Justice Sector inScotland.In recognition of this, we aim tocontinuously improve our EqHRIA practicesand tools to ensure we are evolving ourorganisational approach to EqHRIA –moving from process to mindset. We arefocused on ensuring organisation wide useof proportionate and effective EqHRIAs tosupport mainstreaming.The main interpreting agreement forpublic sector by Scottish Governmentdid not include BSL and various localarrangements were being used.While EqHRIAs are routinely used to supportthe development of more inclusive policiesand practices, we have identified gaps inrelation to the development and publicationof EqHRIAs (outwith policy) and are workingto improve this.Police Scotland undertook aprocurement exercise on behalf of theJustice Sector and awarded a contractfor BSL interpretation that ensuresthat the specialist needs of BSL usersare considered so they are able toeffectively communicate to Police andother agencies.12BACKNEXTCONTENTSMAINSTREAMING & EQUALITY OUTCOMES PROGRESS 2021

We did extensiveconsultation with court users,including Sheriffs, Court Officersand Prosecutors and representativesfrom the Law Society and membersfrom Equality Advocacy groups.
