data on protected characteristics are often used by forces as part of their own diversity monitoring schemes. Several forces publish diversity reports, and the data feed into these. There is therefore a need for forces to be assured that these data are reliable Lessons can be identified from comparator groups. Analysis of comparator group transitions highlights that — as with Service leavers — a number of challenges can reinforce each other to create more difficulty in transition experiences. In our comparator group analysis, resilience was found to play a role in helping individuals handle transition challenges. This literature offers a rich source of evidence, building on a more limited understanding of resilience in the Service leaver context. Recommendations Limitations: Information about the length of the absence depends on cases being closed promptly by managers or HR professionals.
While the release provided a provisional quarterly update on the number of police officers (headcount) in England and Wales, it was not intended to replace the long running statistical series ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’, which also contains information on other police workers. The data released in the biannual ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ have been designated as National Statistics, and users are therefore encouraged to use those data to analyse police numbers. The biannual release provides a snapshot of officer numbers on both a full-time equivalent ( FTE) and headcount basis as at 31 March and 30 September each year. The table below outlines the differences between the publications. ‘Police workforce, England and Wales’ and ‘Police officer uplift’ statistical bulletins
Education overhaul for teachers a long time coming
Police officers: employees of a police force, who have taken an oath (under the Police Act 1996) to uphold the law. Details of which officers are included in the statistics appear in Section 4 of this user guide. Population figures: some of the tables and graphs in the main annual release use population figures to calculate the total number of police officers per 100,000 population. The population figures used for the 31 March 2014 statistics are mid-2012 population estimates based on the 2011 Census, provided by the Office for National Statistics. Caring for a better health: An investigation into the health needs of care leavers. The Care Leavers Association. 2017.
If data are published in a table in a rounded form, the footnotes to that table explain the reasons for doing this.
It’s through high-quality education that society’s inequities are meaningfully addressed
Special constable and police support volunteer numbers can fluctuate depending on how often forces review their data and remove those who have not recently done shifts from their systems. The data return template also included instructions and guidance for those completing the template to ensure that numbers were being reported consistently between forces. Many of these were underpinned by the Home Office Annual Data Requirement (ADR) reporting approach providing a long established, formal way of ensuring consistency.
Implications: Comparisons over time are limited due to differences between what is recorded on health and safety systems and what is recorded as crime. For example, ‘assault with injury on a constable’ will exclude more serious cases of assault, as these will be recorded under a more serious crime classification, from which it is not possible to separately identify police officers. While the expectation is that this will improve in future years, a hybrid approach has been taken in this bulletin to account for cases with an “unknown” gender recorded. Where gender data are not available, analysts have instead used sex data, and vice versa.There are still some potential comparability issues to be aware of. Data collection on both sex and gender has improved in recent years, however, some forces were not previously distinguishing sex from gender. In some cases this led to a large proportion of officers with an “unknown” gender or “unknown” sex. Where this was the case, a hybrid approach was taken to account for cases with an “unknown” sex recorded. Throughout the release, where sex data are not available, analysts have instead used gender data. Annex C: Key stages in the production of the Police Workforce statistical release A. Preparatory work Implications: There will always be a small percentage of people who will have been missed and an even smaller proportion who will have been counted twice. However, the Census Coverage survey estimates how many people have been missed or double-counted, allowing the Census to be adjusted accordingly. Policy making and monitoring – the statistics are used by policy areas to monitor the state of the police workforce, including areas such as total resource levels, diversity, recruitment and retention, and frontline policing. The data are also used to inform discussion around the allocation of police resources. The proposed rate does not include an additional premium of 0.5% pa for the certainty that employers get from revaluing in line with a fixed rate. The rationale for not including the premium is unchanged from the approach adopted to set the fixed revaluation rate in 2017 in that the nature of the relationship between schemes and the State has fundamentally changed since the introduction of the single-tier pension. Also given the shortened timescales there is less uncertainty around the increases in earnings for the members in question compared to looking over the longer term. We agree with GAD’s analysis, and suggest that it would be appropriate to take the middle point of their proposed rate range.
The aim of this consultation is to draw interested parties’ attention to and seek views on the proposed change to the rate of fixed rate revaluation for GMPs for early leavers. The change of rate is expected to come into force on 6 April 2022. Scope of consultation The commentary, tables, charts and key findings are circulated 24 hours before publication to a nominated list of people (including ministers and press office) as shown on pre-release access list. Implications:In a small number of cases forces may incorrectly classify a joiner or leaver if they misinterpret the guidance provided by the Home Office. Totals for some joiner and leaver categories may therefore be slightly inaccurate. This is more likely to be an issue at force level than nationally. total number of officers, staff, police community support officers ( PCSOs), designated officers, special constables and police support volunteers, as at 31 March and 30 September each year, full time equivalent (headcount for special constables and police support volunteers)Implications: Data may not always be perfectly comparable between forces. However, this should only affect a small number of cases, and should not have a major impact on length of service in most cases.
