Working in close partnership with the Forensic Services leadership team, we delivered a robust, evidence-led programme using our Six Steps Methodology to Integrated Workforce Planning®. Through extensive engagement, detailed data analysis, scenario modelling and demand forecasting, we created a forward-looking plan that strengthens decision-making, highlights future workforce pressures, and aligns workforce priorities with financial planning and service needs.

The final plan, which has now been approved by the Scottish Police Authority Board, provides clear actions across recruitment, training, retention, culture and governance, helping Forensic Services shift from reactive to proactive workforce planning.
