The Forensic Capability Network (FCN) has developed a new forensic wellbeing toolkit to ensure individuals working in forensics have access to the support, resources and tools required to secure their long-term health and wellbeing.
The FCN want to pro-actively encourage and grow a positive culture across the forensic community, socialising wellbeing as a subject, and encouraging everyone to understand and take personal responsibility for securing and enhancing their own wellbeing. The toolkit also equips line managers so they understand and can support the wellbeing needs of their team, creating an inclusive environment that enables everyone to flourish and feel they belong.
This toolkit brings together existing resources, wellbeing techniques, interventions, and signpostings. It shares good practice, emerging wellbeing approaches and will be updated regularly.
It has been designed to complement the Investigator Wellbeing Toolkit, which is already widely used across UK policing.
Over the next 12 months we will working with the FCN to build this toolkit as an online resource on this website.
