Still time to complete uniform survey
There is still time for South Wales Police Federation members to complete the first-ever National Police Uniform and Equipment Survey.
The Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) is collaborating with researchers at Lancaster University on the National Police Uniform and Equipment Survey.
The survey explores a range of issues including whether the uniform is comfortable, whether it affects officers’ health and how it makes them feel.
It has had input from the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Police Superintendents’ Association, UNISON and the Home Office, and data will help shape future uniform policy.
The survey closes on Monday 12 August, and members are being encouraged to take part.
Branch chair Phil Walker said: “This survey is the first of its kind to look at issues around police uniform.
“It’s an opportunity to ensure it is fit for purpose for everyone, and I’d encourage all members to have their say.”
The link to the survey has been sent to members’ inboxes. If you have any queries please contact impactofuniform@gmail.com or the PFEW research team at researchanddatacollection@polfed.org
