Although this is an operational matter for the chief constable, I welcome her commitment to the wellbeing of police officers and staff. Police Scotland has made a £17 million investment in its employee assistance programme, which will focus on mental health support.

Police Scotland has signed up to the mental health at work commitment and standards, and the 2024 His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland report on front-line wellbeing recognised that Police Scotland is good at supporting officers at points of crisis.

Police Scotland currently provides a comprehensive range of services to officers and police staff. That includes a 24/7 employee assistance programme and direct access to occupational health services to support mental wellbeing.
