HMIC will, however, look for evidence of further development and improvement at the 3rd year review in the following areas: the arrangements for the annual performance review of senior staff; the consideration of the Director of SCRO's scheme of delegation as part of the repositioning of SCRO within a new common police services agreement; the development of outcome performance measures for each of the bureaux within SCRO; the development of an absence management policy, and the establishment of a service level agreement between SCRO and Strathclyde Joint Police Board detailing services and costs.There are also five recommendations related to finance and the financial procedures within SCRO which are being taken forward in conjunction with the Scottish Executive.
