Title: The Front Line Review: Recommendation Report

Summary: The Front Line Review gathered evidence on a wide range of issues impacting the working lives of officers and staff from forces across in England and Wales. The key themes included wellbeing, professional development, leadership and innovation. Issues and solutions were explored with an emphasis on individual and organisational resilience, removing unnecessary barriers and creating an environment to succeed. The message from the front line is clear about the areas and need for changes as well as the complexity of the issues they face daily. The Review has evidenced a wide range of concerns and issues including: a feeling that demand is increasing while capacity is decreasing; a general feeling that frontline officers and staff feel undervalued by the wider policing system; a feeling of disconnect between the front line and senior / national decision makers; a profound scepticism about the ability of the front line to inform change and improvement; frustrations caused by unnecessary demands on time seen to get in the way of core policing, including: internally generated demands on time, such as disproportionate administration, overly bureaucratic processes, ineffective IT and difficulties in sharing best practice and learning; externally generated demands on time driven by other public agencies relying on the police to provide out of hours cover - for example mental health and social services-related demands on policing; scepticism about the authenticity of the emerging wellbeing agenda and desire to see it embedded in a consistent way with a lasting impact; a feeling that the front line is not afforded sufficient time or space for activities that positively impact on their wellbeing, such as: time for decompression; adequate debriefing; discussions with colleagues; training and development counselling; physical activity; a feeling that the front line is not afforded sufficient time with line managers for support, personal development and performance reviews; a feeling that there is a lack of awareness and transparency in the national learning and development offer for the front line; a view that the current approach to recruiting and developing talent is not fit for purpose with particular criticism of the performance review system and online learning methods.
