1. What is your total annual training budget?

 

2. How is your annual training budget allocated across the organisation?

 

3. What are your training priorities for 2022/2023?

 

4. Which public sector frameworks do you use for training, learning and
development services?

use?

 

6. Please provide your organisation's learning and development strategy
(or similarly titled document).​

 

 

OUR RESPONSE:

 

In accordance with section 1(1) (b) of the Act, our response is as
follows:

 

 1. The budget for External Training for 22-23 is £581,243
 2. Annual training budget is allocated as part of the annual training
needs assessment process each year which is reviewed with department
heads
 3. Safeguarding/Vulnerability (child protection, violence against women
and girls (DA)), Investigation Standards (CDI) File quality
improvement, Digital policing
 4. Tendering/procurement framework
 5. We use a number of providers depending on what is required. These
include other forces and external providers.
 6. This is currently being produced and has not yet been ratified

 

CAVEAT – For question 1 this is the figure that can be obtained with in
the limitations of the Act. Departments can use their own budget to
purchase additional bespoke external training if there is a business need
to do so.

 

If you are not satisfied with the decision applied in this case I enclose
for your attention a copy of the Constabulary's appeal procedures.
