Dear Sir or Madam,
I am requesting basic information on diversity training carried out after the publication of the Macpherson report into the death of Stephen Lawrence. Could you please provide information relating to the following three questions:
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.
Thankyou in advance for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
James Sutherland
