Appendix E: Local Implementation Group Meetings
In Aberdeen, local implementation groups began in January 2007 (five months before the start of the pilot), and ran monthly until May 2007. The group then ran once every two months until February 2008 where the responsibility for running the pilot was handed over from the Scottish Government to Aberdeen City Council, and quarterly meetings commenced. The group is chaired by a representative from Aberdeen City Council and meet to discuss matters arising from the Aberdeen pilot and to determine any methods of best practice that can assist the pilot to run more efficiently.
In Edinburgh, local implementation groups began in December 2006 (six months before the start of the pilot), and ran monthly until July 2007, a month after the introduction of the pilot. Meetings then ran on a quarterly basis, at a slightly reduced size. The group is chaired by a representative from Edinburgh Council and meet to discuss any issues arising within the Edinburgh pilot.
In Glasgow, local implementation groups began in January 2007 (five months before the start of the pilot) and ran on a monthly basis until the end of May 2007. After this, meetings became less frequent, operating on a quarterly basis. In March 2008, the local implementation group was replaced by an operational and strategic meeting, with a smaller membership made up mostly of police and assessor/treatment service staff. These meetings have been running every two months since this time and continue to provide a forum at which staff discuss problems arising with the running of the scheme.
