This guidance is the product of extensive canvassing and has picked up best practice from across all forces. It is designed to act as a guide for forces seeking to establish an inclusive working environment and provide consistency across the country. The guidance also seeks to explain the complexities of the issues facing the modern family within policing and provides guidance on systems of support which have been established in some areas.
Where ‘staff’ are mentioned throughout the guidance it can be taken that this covers both police officers and police staff unless otherwise stated.
