@gezmedinger I am part of the wellness team in Devon and Cornwall police and we are organising an event open to all UK police about Long Covid, it would be fantastic if you could speak for us, it’s planned for March 20th next year, thank you 😊 🤞
Darcy our @OscarKiloUK Wellbeing dog met more than 200 staff at HQ in Exeter today, lots of support offered, signposting & good conversations had all day alongside @Veale2Cathy & Keith our volunteer
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week I spoke about my experience today, I don’t usually go in to a lot of detail during my training so I found today quite emotional but everyone was so supportive. A male officer emailed me to say “to say I’m inspired is an understatement” 😊
For the month of May our team are visiting stations across Devon, Cornwall & Dorset with the Oscar Kilo Wellbeing Van. It’s a fantastic opportunity to chat to hundreds of staff, offer help, support & signposting, as well as an opportunity to use the Body Composition Scales
Yesterday 14 staff received training from Police Care on Trauma Impact Prevention Techniques. This is an evidence based, peer reviewed set of strategies designed to aid healthy cognitive processing of difficult life events. We are all now able to deliver this training #wellbeing

They would be even lower.

Not mine.

The Policing Minister is lying to you.
These officers are not 'additional' at all.
From 2010-2018, the government cut 44,000 officers & staff from policing in England & Wales.
And they have barely even begun to repair the damage done.
