The Front Line Review has seen the Home Office engage directly with officers and staff for more than a year. This week the department publishes everything it has heard from the front line, alongside a package of new measures which aims to transform the support given to them.
This includes plans to work with Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) to embed wellbeing into the culture of policing through inspecting forces.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid said: “Our world-leading police keep us safe in the most challenging of circumstances – so it’s vital we do everything possible to support them in their roles.
“Over the past year we’ve been speaking to officers and listening to their views around how they can make the service they provide even better.
“As a result, we are taking action to reduce their workloads, ensure their wellbeing and give the front line a stronger voice in decision making.”
