  The aims of this project are to identify best practices, primary and secondary benefits, and learning outcomes from the DEFINE pilot in Police Scotland. In recognition of the need for policing to ensure wellbeing support for neurodiverse staff and officers, Police Scotland have undertaken the DEFINE pilot in 2024 which has worked towards promoting and embedding the ethos of ‘Develop, Encourage, Foster Inclusivity for Neurodiversity in Everyone’ within Police Scotland’s organisational culture. This project will undertake semi-structured interviews with DEFINE ambassadors, the Pilot lead, and disability coordinators involved in the project, to capture their experiences of this work and their recommendations for future implementation. The main output of this project is a qualitative evaluation in the form of a SIPR briefing report and provide recommendations for nationwide implementation.
