Each Chief Constable has a duty to manage and support their workforce effectively, ensuring the welfare of all officers and staff.<\/p>
The Government takes the issue of police welfare very seriously and has invested in programmes which offer help directly to officers and staff. In July 2017 the Home Office awarded £7.5 million from the Police Transformation Fund to the College of Policing over three years to pilot and, if these pilots were successful, roll out a dedicated national service to help provide enhanced welfare support to serving police officers and staff.<\/p>
Following two years of development and piloting, the National Police Wellbeing Service (NPWS) was launched in April 2019. The NPWS has developed evidence-based guidance, advice, tools and resources which can be accessed by forces, as well as individual officers and staff.<\/p>
The NPWS will help forces to improve the mental health support they provide to their officers and staff, including following violent incidents.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1561", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Nick Hurd"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-27T14:45:07.84Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Police: Mental Health Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what mental health support his Department provides to police officers who have responded to a violent incident.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4491", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Vicky Foxcroft"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Lewisham, Deptford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Vicky Foxcroft"} ], "uin" : "266738"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1133205", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1133205/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Home Office does not hold the information requested centrally.<\/p>
The Home Office collects information on the number of police officers on sick absence as at 31st March each year.<\/p>
However, these data do not include the reason for the sickness absence therefore it is not possible from data held centrally to identify those on sick absence after responding to a violent incident<\/p>
Information on sickness absence data are published in the annual \u2018Police work-force\u2019 statistical bulletin, available here:<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/police-workforce-england-and-wales<\/a><\/p> The Home Office will be providing funding for DIVERT from the Early Intervention Youth Fund from November 2018 to March 2020. Funding for projects aimed at early intervention and prevention will be considered as part of our spending review plans.<\/p> There will also be opportunities for those seeking to deliver interventions to steer children and young people away from serious violence to apply for funding from the Youth Endowment Fund. Operating over ten years, the £200m Fund will work with charities, statutory services, communities, young people and others to develop and fund the most promising interventions. Further information about the Fund\u2019s activities and funding criteria can be found here: https://impetus.org.uk/youth-endowment-fund. <\/a><\/p>"}
