Background
Police Scotland commenced a formal ‘Whistleblowing’ process in 2017 which is now a well embedded process within the organisation. Police Scotland continues to utilise the services of PROTECT (Whistleblowing Advice) Ltd to provide independent, confidential and expert advice to Police Scotland officers, staff and managers.
This report will provide an update in relation to ‘Whistleblowing’ matters investigated by Police Scotland during the Financial Year 2024/25 and proposed next steps for 2025/26.
