Internal Recruitment (1016A/23)
Request
I wish to submit a FOIA request regarding internal recruitment.
- Do Police Staff need to complete or submit a Line Manager Endorsement form or similar/equivalent document to be able to submit an internal job application? If this isn’t required at the initial time of applying when is this required (if at all)?
- Do Police Officers need to complete or submit a Line Manager Endorsement form or similar/equivalent document to be able to submit an internal job application? If this isn’t required at the initial time of applying when is this required (if at all)?
- If applicable, do you have a copy of the endorsement form(s) or equivalent?
- Do you have any policies regarding internal recruitment and if applicable specifically around the endorsement forms?
- If applicable what is the procedure if a line manager and staff member disagree with the content of an endorsement form?
The below link is a Line Mangers Endorsement Form from Essex Police so you have an example of what I’m referring to.

Please find our response below.
1) Staff are not required to complete a Line Manager Endorsement form. They are asked on their application for their line manager and collar number. It’s then advised that they can be contacted at any point should it be necessary during their application.
