answer text <p>We recognise that having police officers with the right skills is critical in ensuring rape and sexual offences cases are managed appropriately and effectively. We are supporting the police to ensure this is the case through:</p><ul><li>funding Operation Soteria, which includes reviewing the learning and development offer to officers and sharing learning nationally;</li><li>supporting the Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice Programme, run by the National Police Chiefs’ Council, which drives improvement in the policing response to all safeguarding crimes (including adult sexual offences); and</li><li>the three-year Spending Review settlement secures an additional £540m for the Police Uplift Programme by 2024/25. This will enable forces to recruit and maintain the full 20,000 officer uplift, delivering on this Government’s commitment to recruit additional officers and keep the public safe.</li></ul><p>The deployment of officers and structure of forces is ultimately an operational matter for Chief Constables as there will be different considerations in different force areas.</p>
