Working for you: new reps set to provide Federation support

4 March 2025

Eleven new workplace representatives have been elected to the Nottinghamshire Police Federation Branch Council.

The new reps will now attend an induction training course with the Police Federation to prepare them for their role representing and supporting colleagues across the Force.

They will also be able to take further courses to specialise in other key areas of Federation work such as conduct, health and safety and equality.

“We are pleased to welcome the new reps to the branch council and thank them for putting themselves forward for what can be a challenging, but also rewarding, role,” says branch chair Simon Riley.

Branch chair Simon Riley.

“They will work alongside the nine reps who were re-elected to the branch council and who will, I am sure, offer support to the new reps as they get to grips with their Federation duties, which they carry out on a voluntary basis in addition to their policing role.

“Of course, we are also pleased to see our experienced reps returning to their positions and thank them for their continued commitment to helping, advising and representing their colleagues.”

Simon and branch secretary Tom Hill remain in post and will take part in the upcoming elections for chair and secretary.

Election process 

The Federation is amid an election process involving all 43 branches across England and Wales and the national office.

The process began on 30 December last year when nominations for workplace representatives opened. Voting for those who put themselves forward ran for almost three weeks with the results being announced on 27 February.

On 17 March, nominations open for workplace reps on the branch council to seek election to the executive, the branch board, with voting taking place among the reps from 14 to 28 April. The branch board elects the secretary.

Nominations open for the branch chair on 2 May, with all members of Nottinghamshire Police Federation able to vote using an online portal from 13 to 27 May. The branch chair will be announced on 28 May and they, and other branch officials, take office on 1 June.

All members nationwide will be invited to vote for a national chair from 30 June to 14 July and they will start in post on 1 August.

The election process ends on 1 October when the new National Board will be in place.
