Professional Standards department user experience survey
What is the Professional Standards (PSD) user experience survey?
Every month, Police Scotland contact a number of individuals who have made a complaint about the police. This survey is carried out on behalf of Police Scotland by the research agency, Progressive Partnership Ltd.
Why have I been contacted?
If you’ve been contacted by Progressive Ltd, it’s because you’ve recently contacted Police Scotland, or made a complaint.
Individuals are contacted by text message and invited to take part in the online survey.
Why is this survey conducted and what information do Police Scotland have?
The survey is conducted to help us understand the experiences of the people who have made a complaint about the police. We use the survey to make sure we’re supporting communities as best we can.
No personal information is reported back to Police Scotland and we cannot identify individuals from their responses to the survey.
The answers you give in the survey will be combined with answers from other people who have taken part to give overall survey findings. No one will be able to identify you individually from the data.
Our reporting, surveying and data collection is compliant with GDPR and data information laws.
What if I don’t want to complete the survey?
We thoroughly appreciate everyone who takes the time to respond to the Professional Standards user experience survey. It helps us continually improve our service.
However, the survey is voluntary and you can choose to opt out of communications at any time.
