The Independent Review of the Police Federation has so far spoken to:

•        All three Rank Central Committee principal officers and Women’s Reserved seat representatives.

•        National meetings of rank branch board principal officers – Constables, Sergeants and Inspectors.

•        Staff in the national HQ.

•        A number of external witnesses throughout the policing world.

•        More than 200 responses to the online consultation.

Sir David Normington, Chairman of the Independent Review Panel, said: “We’ve extended the online consultation as we are getting a very good response and want to give every opportunity for others to get their thoughts to us. Anyone can respond and we are reading and analysing each and every response.”

“All the panel members are looking forward to the regional consultation days. We are very confident the consultation programme we have in place is robust and will generate the range of evidence we need to get an accurate picture alongside other aspects of the consultation.

“While many who want to come along will have work and other commitments, we can reassure everyone that the online consultation is also a very important way of engaging with the Review. Everyone has an opportunity to have their say.”
