Overview

This is the first inclusive, positive action, initiative to be made available to all officers and police staff from under-represented groups.

It can be delivered to specific groups e.g. all black and minority ethnic or all female delegates, etc. or to a mixed audience of delegates from different under-represented groups. This will allow delegates who do not wish to disclose personal information about themselves to have fair and equal access to the programme.

Aims

To assist with the development of a more representative workforce by encouraging officers and police staff from under-represented groups to remain in the Service and apply for development opportunities and progression.

Objectives

• Describe and explain how values, beliefs and conditioning affect self and relationships with others.
• To make effective choices when responding to dominance.
• To evaluate career options and develop a personal action plan to enhance their career.
• To describe a range of basic management and leadership principles and the concept of Transformational Leadership.
• Identify the concepts and benefits of mentoring, coaching and networking.
• Apply the principles of continuous personal and professional development through an awareness of the Integrated Competency Framework, Core Leadership Development Programme and High Potential Development scheme.
