The Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) is today announcing that it shall not be pursuing an appeal against the judgment issued by the Employment Tribunal on 6 June 2023.

PFEW’s National Board and National Council, which is made up of representatives of rank and file officers across the eight regions of England and Wales, have made the decision not to appeal the judgment.

PFEW is unreservedly sorry and would like to offer an unconditional apology for the distress caused.

The claimants’ remedy will now be determined at a separate hearing, and in the weeks and months ahead, we will be taking a proactive approach to engage, rebuild bridges, learn lessons, and implement change.
