SCIG01670 - Introduction and organisation: Communication: Operational Leader and team communications

Operational Leaders are the point of guidance and reference for investigation and technical issues on the team and, where appropriate, will discuss cases on a daily basis as well as holding regular, formal team meetings. They are expected to share ideas, developments and good practice with other Operational Leaders.

Operational Leaders should ensure, whatever other arrangements are made, that each case (including reviews) is discussed regularly. Investigators should ensure that the Enquiry Plan is updated before these discussions. For more guidance on Enquiry Plans, see SCIG03660.

They are also the point of guidance and reference for personnel matters.
