Background

The Leadership Project concluded in November 2022. It was a key enabler to achieving and delivering our People Strategy priorities. Each element of the project was interdependent and of equal importance in terms of focus and investment, with equality at the heart. The Project included rollout of the new appraisal system (MyCareer); launch of new talent management process for Officers with high potential (Accelerated Leadership Pathway) and introduction of the Police Leadership Development Programme (PLDP) to replace the existing Diploma in Police Service Leadership and Management (DPSLM). The outcomes of the Project and move to ‘business as usual’ are detailed throughout Section 2.

The Leadership & Talent Department are through the initial stages of establishing a second Leadership Project Programme, to support wider developments of MyCareer (to include Development Planning Tools, Objective Setting and 360 Feedback linked to CVF); an Accelerated Leadership Programme for Police Staff and the Police Executive Leadership Programme, the replacement for Senior Police National Assessment Centre.
