I wished I had this training 29 years ago when I first joined the force, I have learned a lot of useful information, and it would be useful for leaders to attend the training too…
For me there are 3 facets to the training that are helpful…
For me as Police Officer, the training provides insight to start to understand why people may behave in a certain way (both children and adults) that will inform a method of approach to assist as a communication strategy, in order to be able to respond there and then with incidents/individuals, provide initial support to achieve best evidence/victim care initially and signpost accordingly.
As a peer to be able to maybe identify and address colleague behaviour/attitude.
As a leader (very much as above) but to identify /staff welfare, performance, and attendance with a view support.
