As 2022 draws to a close, we thought it would be nice to look back at the work we have done over the year to support police wellbeing.
As the National Police Wellbeing Service develops and grows, we are continually introducing new bespoke intervention programmes, training packages, online learning, toolkits and campaigns.
Sitting with the College of Policing we work closely with the Home Office, the National Police Chief’s Council, unions and forces across the country to ensure all our work meets the unique needs of police forces, officers and staff.
By carrying out academic studies and research in key areas, and from the results of our national wellbeing survey we design and develop the right interventions and support to fit the requirements of people working in UK policing.
