Description

The Authority is seeking services of a Legal Accountant on an ongoing basis to independently review fee notes and itemised invoices received by the Authority / Police Scotland from Legal agents involved in relevant existing legal proceedings or new cases. The appointed Contractor will be required to carry out a review of invoices to ensure the Authority for Police Scotland and themselves are paying a fair and reasonable amount for services to the relevant officers/ staff which are in line with agreed industry rates.
Police Scotland Officers, in certain circumstances, may receive financial support for legal fees and legal expenses if legal proceedings are initiated against them.  If officers have acted in good faith to execute their lawful duties, they may apply for such funding via the Scottish Police Federation. This covers:-
- Applications in connection with criminal proceedings taken against a police officer for matters alleged to have occurred in the execution of the officer’s duty;
- Civil proceedings taken against an officer arising out of some matter said to have occurred in the execution of the officer’s duty; and
- A Fatal Accident Inquiry into a death which is in some way connected with the officer’s execution of their duty.
- Any other proceedings where officers may require legal advice

The Assessment of Production Process Against ED-76B - UK 4

The No. 1 Aeronautical Information Documents Unit (No. 1 AIDU) is responsible for processing aeronautical information used in navigation, flight planning, terrain and obstacle awareness, and flight deck displays. This work is carried out using the latest quality management principles, as the information directly impacts flight safety. Due to the nature of the data being processed, No. 1 AIDU must comply with European Directive 76B (ED-76B), in line with standards set by the European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE). Consequently, No. 1 AIDU has identified the need to assess its processes against ED-76B to maintain annual re-accreditation over a three-year period, with an option to extend for an additional two years.
