Police officer recruitment can include a job-related fitness assessment where required by the applicable entry standard.
Before the assessment
Recruitment provides the instructions and preparation information. Ask for an adjustment if you need one; an adjustment cannot remove a genuine fitness requirement of the role.
Purpose of the assessment
A job-related fitness test is used where the role genuinely requires a defined level of physical capability.
What happens
The live campaign explains the assessment used, when it takes place and any preparation or practical instructions candidates need.
Reasonable adjustments
An adjustment can change how a candidate participates where that is reasonable, but it cannot remove an essential physical requirement of the role.
Preparing safely
Candidates should prepare sensibly and follow any health or safety advice provided for the assessment.
