Office closure

24 March 2020

The West Midlands Police Federation office at Guardians House is closing today in line with the Government’s latest announcement on efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus.

However, the office team will be working from home and taking all steps to ensure that members can access the help and support they might need during this crisis.

“It is essential that we follow the Government guidance at this time and ensure everyone who can work from home does so,” says Jon Nott, chair of West Midlands Police Federation.

“I want to assure members that our team will be doing all they can to adopt a ‘business as usual’ approach despite these new working arrangements.

“Our primary focus remains on supporting members through what are incredibly challenging times. We appreciate our members are in the front-line of the nation’s response to this crisis and we remain steadfast in our commitment to representing and supporting them at all times.

“Throughout the current ‘lockdown’ and the enforced closure of our office, the Federation officials and workplace representatives will continue to engage with the Force at all levels to represent members and work on their behalf. Members should contact us via the office email address or via the contact details available through our ‘Meet the team’ or ‘Find my rep’ website pages.”

Federation staff working remotely will have access to all systems but the office telephone lines will not be operating.

Please contact the office team by email as follows:

Contact details for our officials can be found on the Meet the team page where there is also a link to the contact details for our workplace representatives on the Find my rep page.

We will continue to post news updates on this website and through our social media accounts. There is also a range of advice and information on a dedicated coronavirus page on the national Federation’s website.
