Some policing roles may require psychological screening where it is relevant to the duties and risks of the post.
Purpose
Where screening applies, it considers wellbeing in relation to emotionally demanding work and can identify where support or further assessment is needed.
Your information
Recruitment explains what information is required, why it is needed and who can access it.
When screening applies
Screening is used only for a role or duty where the applicable occupational-health or recruitment process requires it.
What the process is for
The purpose is to consider whether a person can undertake particularly demanding work safely and what support or further assessment may be appropriate.
Information and confidentiality
The process should collect only information needed for the assessment and handle it through the authorised occupational-health or recruitment route.
Outcome
An outcome can identify no concern, a need for further assessment, support or another action under the applicable recruitment or workforce process.
Questions or adjustments
Candidates can ask Recruitment how the screening stage works and can request a reasonable adjustment to the process where appropriate.
