Dear Colleagues

APA Confidence Research and Guidance Project

I attach a project briefing which gives an explanation of the APA Confidence Research and Guidance project which is now in progress. The brief gives an overview of the project and in particular, seeks your help in working with the project consultants, Evidence Led Solutions, in developing the guidance by using any best practice or strategies that might be in place or being developed. In addition, a set of slides is also attached giving the overview and purpose of the project.

As you will see from the brief, we are looking for police authorities and their forces to help and assist in making the guidance both meaningful and in providing value. Your help in providing good practice examples or any plans/strategies would be welcome and if these could be provided quickly, it will be very much appreciated.

If you have any queries, or would like to discuss this project, I would be happy to hear from you.

Regards

Ritchie Forbes
