People Committee - 25 February 2025

Date : 25 February 2025

Location : Online


Progress Updates/Timeline

Appendix A presents the Improvement Plan Progress Report. HMICS were provided with the most recent Evidence Submission Forms on 17 December 2024.

Owing to the work carried out as outlined above, to embed the HMICS culture recommendations and areas for development into the Policing Together Implementation Plan, it is proposed that future updates on progress towards the HMICS Culture Improvement Plan are provided to the SPA People Committee as part of our Policing Together Performance Report. The Policing Together Performance Report is presented bi-annually, each May and November. An appendix to the Performance Report can be used to specify clearly the work that delivers on the Culture Inspection Improvement Plan.

With the multiple plans brought together under the Policing Together Implementation Plan there is a need to refresh the target dates which vary across linked activities. This will be complete ahead of the next Policing Together Implementation Group scheduled for 3 April where the finalised Plan will be presented for Approval.
