Officers urged to take part in College survey<br />
<strong>Police</strong> officers from all over the country and<br />
across all ranks are being urged to take part in<br />
a survey about the new College of Policing.<br />
Tom Cuddeford, deputy chairman of<br />
<strong>West</strong> <strong>Midlands</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Federation</strong>, says: “Your<br />
input will assist directly in influencing how<br />
the professional body operates. National<br />
<strong>Federation</strong> representatives have been<br />
identified, from all three Federated ranks,<br />
who will be pressing hard for the College to<br />
recognise and respond to police officer views’,<br />
so that the body is truly OUR professional<br />
body and not just something that’s imposed<br />
on us and adds no value to the service.<br />
“Please complete this survey and assist<br />
your <strong>Federation</strong> in influencing relevant<br />
parties.”<br />
Visit https://www.surveymonkey.<br />
com/s/CollegeBlueprint to take part.<br />
The <strong>Federation</strong> has also been asked to<br />
help with a survey being conducted by<br />
Professor Jennifer Brown, deputy chair of the<br />
Independent Commission into the Future of<br />
Policing in England and Wales being led by<br />
Lord Stevens.<br />
The Independent <strong>Police</strong> Commission, as<br />
a consequence of the findings of the earlier<br />
surveys, is seeking further information from<br />
<strong>Federation</strong> members.<br />
Results of the previous consultation<br />
revealed morale problems and difficulties<br />
experienced in managing part-time and/or<br />
flexible working, in addition to identifying<br />
unfairness in working practices.<br />
Rather than simply reporting this state of<br />
affairs, the Commission wants to be more<br />
constructive and offer a way to create a fairer<br />
working environment and would welcome<br />
your further input.<br />
Tom explains: “Once again, your input<br />
into this survey would be greatly appreciated<br />
and we hope to report the findings at the<br />
<strong>Police</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> conference.”<br />
The survey is completed anonymously<br />
and participants will not be identifiable in the<br />
final reporting. The link to the survey is as<br />
follows: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/<br />

The survey will be open until 12 April<br />
