Your views on policing will help Fed gather ‘crucial evidence’

6 September 2022

The findings from this year’s pay and morale survey – which was launched yesterday (Monday 5 September) – will influence the Police Federation’s campaigns for fairer pay and conditions.

That’s the message from Derbyshire Police Federation chair Tony Wetton as he urged members to complete the survey.

This year it has been combined with the demand, capacity, and welfare survey to provide a comprehensive picture of the realities of policing.

Tony said: “This will give us a clear understanding of issues facing our members. We’ll use the findings on a local and national level to support our campaigns for fairer pay and conditions.

“It’s vital that as many members as possible complete the survey, so please take the time to fill it in and make your voice heard.

“The more that do the louder our voice will be.”

Police Federation national chair Steve Hartshorn added: “We greatly appreciate members taking the time to support the service by filling in this survey. The information you provide will help us gather crucial evidence to support our efforts. Your opinion matters to us, we are listening. 

“The survey is open until October 3, and will ask questions around your feelings on workload, demand, wellbeing, welfare and pay. I would urge you not to miss out. Have your say.”
