Response
1. We don’t have programmes as such, but we do have an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme):
Contract costings for the EAP in the last three financial years were as follows:
19/20 – £49,800
20/21 – £49,800
21/22 – £62,700
2. £Nil, However, there are free mindfulness courses available through The College of Policing and we encourage employees to use the Sports and Social club for sports such as canoeing, swimming etc. which are free and day trips are offered through a discounted rate with the club for full paying members.
Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from a number of data sources used by forces for police purposes. The detail collected to respond specifically to your request is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting those data.
The figures provided therefore are our best interpretation of relevance of data to your request, but you should be aware that the collation of figures for ad hoc requests may have limitations and this should be taken into account when those data are used.
If you decide to write an article / use the enclosed data we would ask you to take into consideration the factors highlighted in this document so as to not mislead members of the public or official bodies, or misrepresent the relevance of the whole or any part of this disclosed material.
