Learning, Training & Development
A People Manager Development Programme launches in April 2023, with the first module being Wellbeing / Mental Health, and has a focus on supporting our people and ‘Promoting a Positive Workplace’. The programme will be mandatory for all line managers and forms part of the Your Leadership Matters programme. The programme is designed to support line mangers to understand how to have supportive conversations, how to spot early signs of mental health and what tools they need to engage their people and ask about their wellness. The programme will be delivered to all line managers in various forms such as ‘lunch and learns’, spotlight discussion forums, coaching, on line ‘empower hour’ style learning events etc. and feedback will be gathered form the initial pilot to help inform the full roll out plan.
We are delighted that funding for the Lifelines Scotland project has also been identified from the Scottish Government to extend training provision and support until 30th September 2023.
Lifelines Scotland training continues with PPCW and G Division line management having been the key focus areas during this last quarter, as well as bespoke sessions for Disability and Carers Association (DACA) Committee Members to empower DACA further when supporting members. Bespoke sessions will also be provided to SEMPER, to provide support and provision for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) officers and staff and also to some particular teams in need, to work as a primary preventative tool to help reduce the
incidence of health issues in the future.
The HWB team are working with Lifelines on the development of a ‘train the trainer’ programme. The team plan to launch the programme in late February with the refreshed Wellbeing Champions Network and our HWB Advisory Group membership as the initial target audience. The programme will further expand our capacity, initial aim of 80 trainers, to deliver crucial Lifelines resilience, self-care, supporting colleagues and post trauma support training through a Police Scotland and peer support lenses
