This strategy document is aimed at a wide audience and for use as a means of communicating and ‘future-proofing’ local, national and cross-sector activity in areas affecting people management. It has core themes of:
- Outcome—focus
- Flexibility and learning
- All-staff approach, harmonising and inclusive
- Connected HR management across the Service
- Modernisation
The strategy may impact on the direction of various planned developments in the short term, as there are inconsistencies between these and the long-term requirements of the Service. It is intended that the strategy should evolve and be regularly reviewed and updated to refl ect emerging issues and changes, ultimately becoming a core part of an overarching policing strategy.
ACPOS will adopt and use the strategy in such a way that we can strengthen our role as leaders of change and enable the achievement of strategic objectives at national and local levels. We will be undertaking a review of our own committee structures and working methods to support coherent management of the overall programme of change.
This document has been developed through consultation and involvement with many stakeholders in workshops and by wide circulation of ideas, evidence and earlier drafts for others’ comments. We will welcome continuing feedback as part of implementing the strategy and continuous improvement in our overall approach to these issues.
