Post- Lawrence Report Diversity Training

Dear Mr Sutherland

Thank you for your request for information received via email in this
office on 25th July 2008. This request will be dealt with under the terms
of the Freedom Of Information Act 2000. Details of the request received:-

1. How many "Diversity" training courses has your Constabulary

provided in the period 1999-2008?

2. What was the target group of those courses, i.e: all staff,

police officers, police staff, staff of a particular rank/grade,

etc.

3. What was the duration of the courses in terms of days/ hours.

FYI, please see the following clarifications regarding the above

questions:

i) By 'diversity' I refer to any course aimed at meeting the

training recommendations of the Lawrence report or subsequent

training related to awareness of issues of race, prejudice, sexual

orientation, religion or gender.

ii) I am interested in all types of diversity training including

both stand alone courses or diversity elements within courses,

where the identification of that element is easily recognisable and

its inclusion in your report is unproblematic

iii) I am not concerned with the diversity training contained

within the Probationer Training Program or the IPLDP, and do not

require any information regarding diversity training undertaken as

part of basic probationer training.

iv) Where the diversity training is self-directed or e-learning

without a fixed duration, I would request that an estimate on the

number of study hours required for its completion is provided

instead of information on course duration.

v) I do not require any information on the number of participants

involved in any course, the completion rates, or any detailed

information on course content, delivery method or evaluation.

Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject
to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party. In some circumstances Cumbria Constabulary may be unable to achieve
this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

In the event that your requirements change or you no longer wish to
receive a response to your request, I would be grateful if you could
advise me of this as soon as possible.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make a payment then your request will
remain unanswered.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

I would like to thank you for your interest in Cumbria Constabulary.

Dear Mr Sutherland, I am collating information regarding your request for
details of Diversity Training delivered by Cumbria Constabulary. Can you
please clarify the following point:

Do you just require details of Individual types of courses e.g. Race and
Diversity Awareness, Hate Crime etc or do you require how many of each
Type was run ie
Race and Diversity Awarenees = 100 courses
Hate Crime = 90 courses etc
