Question
To ask the Scottish Government how it is responding to the findings of the Independent Review of Complaints Handling, Investigations and Misconduct Issues in Relation to Policing.
Answer
Dame Elish’s very significant and substantial report contains a wealth of evidence and recommendations, covering many aspects of complaints, investigations and misconduct issues. It is right that we now take time to digest this carefully and engage with the partner organisations involved. A Scottish Government response to Dame Elish’s report will be published in the new year and will indicate the way forward in terms of implementing recommendations.
