Pay and morale survey: members urged to have their say

6 September 2022

The Police Federation’s annual pay and morale survey has now been launched and Hertfordshire branch chair Luke Mitchell is urging members to have their say.

This year the survey has been combined with the demand, capacity and welfare survey to provide a comprehensive picture of the issues facing officers.

The findings will be used to shape the Police Federation of England and Wales’ strategic direction and to support its campaigns for fairer pay and conditions.

Luke said: “This survey is a really important opportunity for members to make their voices heard on a range of matters around pay, morale, welfare and wellbeing.

“The Federation is here to represent you and to do that we need to know about the issues that impact you.

“Please complete the survey – the more members that fill it in, the more information we’ll have to be able to represent you as effectively as possible.”

National Federation chair Steve Hartshorn said: “We greatly appreciate members taking the time to support the service by filling in this survey, the evidence and insights from the findings will be used to inform our policies and direction going forward.

“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.”
