Hello, I'm Rebecca Kirley, a PhD student. I’m working on a project for my dissertation which explores the idea of organisational learning from public complaints and civil claims in police forces. This is in light of the recent national changes to the complaints system to make it more learning-oriented, and also because there's been little research into what it means to learn from these kinds of processes, or whether and how such learning happens. Part of the study also explores what role might be played in learning (if any) by force social diversity. If you would be willing to share your professional perspectives and experiences with me it would be a massive help! …

Afternoon Everyone, So I have a little discussion for you all to participate in. With the ever rising diagnosis of PTSD amongst our armed forces and other emergency services, should this automatically disqualify them from job joining the Police? The reason behind my interest in this is I am due to fail my medical any day nowN. Now it is, what it is and can't be challenged. However as someone who was diagnosed with PTSD from NOV 2019 to March 2020 (Yes a whole 4 months 🤣🤣) this has been used as a basis to fail me (My background is RAF Supply so essentially the most disturbing thing I ever seen or did was the giving away of a decent pair of boots 🤣🤣) …
