Forensic Services Committee - 6 August

Date : 06 August 2024

Location : Online


Ensuring best value

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and ensuring best value in public service, Forensic Services has started a comprehensive self-assessment of best value right across the organisation. This work will be reported into Members of the Authority through the SPA Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee.

We have held an initial workshop with Forensic Services Senior Management Team and SPA Corporate colleagues and we will be engaging with all Forensic Services staff to take this work forward through the seven best value themes:

    • Vision & Leadership
    • Governance & Accountability
    • Use of Resources
    • Partnerships & Collaborative Working
    • Community Responsiveness
    • Fairness & Equality
    • Performance Management & Improvement
