Equality and Diversity

In order to ensure each member feels valued and supported in their career, Devon and Cornwall Police Federation is committed to supporting officers with equality, diversity and fair access to opportunities. This encompasses many areas, such as discrimination, reasonable adjustments, flexible and part-time working arrangements, maternity and paternity leave and shared parental leave. 

We are here to advise on entitlements, pay and working conditions to help officers understand and access policies that suit their needs. For officers returning from maternity or paternity leave, we offer guidance on managing their transition back to work and securing flexible arrangements that balance professional and personal responsibilities.

By promoting inclusivity and offering practical help in these areas, Devon and Cornwall Police Federation ensures that all officers, regardless of their circumstances, are empowered to thrive in their roles while maintaining a positive work-life balance.
