Find out more about the role of a Fed rep

29 June 2021

Police Federation national chair John Apter and national wellbeing secretary Belinda Goodwin will be discussing the forthcoming elections and the role of the workplace representative during a special Twitter chat on Wednesday (30 June).

The hour-long @WeCops session, which gets underway at 9pm, will focus on next month’s elections, the important work carried out by the reps and how officers can still get involved.

The Twitter chat will be hosted by John tweeting as @PFEW_Chair and Belinda will be tweeting as @BelindaPfew for the session.

The @WeCops sessions follow a three-question format and usually feature some interesting discussions.

Hertfordshire Police Federation branch secretary Al Wollaston said he would be urging members to log on for the Twitter discussion.

He said: “This is a great chance for members to ask any questions they might have about workplace reps and the work they do, the training they receive and hopefully how to get involved themselves.”

Elections for Fed reps are held every three years.

The next election process begins on Thursday (1 July) when nominations open for workplace representatives.
