<p>The College of Policing sets the standards for training and professional development
for police forces in England and Wales. It has produced Authorised Professional Practice
and a range of training materials to support officers to help vulnerable people effectively,
including those with mental health problems and autism.</p><p>Training on mental health
and vulnerabilities issues is integrated throughout the initial police learning programme
which all new recruits – police constables, special constables and PCSOs – must complete.
Ongoing training is the responsibility of individual police forces, through Chief
Constables, to ensure officers and police staff receive appropriate training for their
roles and that they have regard to the appropriate Authorised Professional Practice
when discharging their responsibilities.</p>
