Aims and objectives

In early 2010 the IPCC will issue new statutory guidance for police complaints procedures. This will add momentum to the pace of reform which began with the Taylor Review and new police conduct and performance regulations in December 2008. Capita’s The Taylor Reforms: One Year On Conference offers high level strategic support as well as practical guidance to take your force to the next stage of compliance with the regulation reforms on conduct and performance.

Designed for senior police representatives and those responsible for professional standards, conduct and force-wide learning, the conference brings together stakeholders to review progress and identify what must now be done. Sessions will include:

• A practical troubleshooting session with the Home Office
• An introduction to the new IPCC guidance and what it means for your force
• High level legal advice on how to stop performance issues escalating into misconduct
• An interactive panel discussion on how to meet public expectations
• Practical advice on making learning and development a force priority
• Case studies showcasing good practice and the challenges of implementation

Improving public confidence in the police is a national priority. To achieve this goal it is essential to ensure that high standards in police conduct and professional behaviour are implemented. Attend this important event to learn skills to confidently address performance issues and misconduct in your force.
