HIOWC aims to provide fair recruitment and a working environment in which officers, staff and volunteers can contribute effectively.
Recruitment support
Reasonable adjustments and accessible arrangements can support fair participation while genuine role requirements continue to be assessed.
At work
Workforce support depends on the needs of the individual, the role and the arrangements in force for HIOWC personnel.
An inclusive workforce
HIOWC aims to recruit and develop people from different backgrounds and to remove avoidable barriers while keeping the genuine requirements of policing roles.
Reasonable adjustments
Candidates can ask for an adjustment to a recruitment stage. Recruitment considers what is reasonable and how the assessment can remain valid.
Wellbeing support
Wellbeing support can include management support, occupational arrangements and other services available to the workforce. The support used depends on the person and role.
Respect and professional standards
Officers, staff and volunteers are expected to treat colleagues and the public fairly, professionally and with respect.
Getting help
Use Recruitment for a recruitment-stage adjustment. Once appointed, use the workforce support route that applies to the individual and the issue.
