2 1.0 Rationale 1.1 Thames Valley Police is committed to developing a progressive and diverse workforce: where the right people are in the right roles at the right time, and that they feel valued, trusted and enabled to give the best service. 2.0 Intention 2.1 The intention of this policy is to provide a fair and effective framework for managing the police promotion process in Thames Valley Police in accordance with employment and equality legislation, and with the requirements of the Police Promotion Examinations Board (PPEB) and Police Regulations. 3.0 General Principles 3.1 Equality This policy seeks to ensure that all officers seeking promotion are treated fairly, that the best officer(s) are selected for promotion and that no officer is disadvantaged due to: Age Disability Gender reassignment Marital and civil partnership Pregnancy and maternity Race Religion or belief Sex Sexual orientation Part-time status or will be disadvantaged by promotion decisions that cannot be justified as necessary on operational grounds. 3.2 Scope The policy covers promotion to the rank of Sergeant, Inspector, Chief Inspector, Superintendent and Chief Superintendent, and applies to officers seeking promotion in Thames Valley Police. It also applies to individuals involved in the design, delivery, assessment and evaluation of police promotions. 3.3 Organisational Context The Head of People Services is responsible for ensuring appropriate management systems and procedures are in place to deliver a quality value for money promotion system, in accordance with the principles set out in this policy and The Police (Promotion) (Amendment) Regulations 1996, as amended. For promotion to the rank of Sergeant and Inspector, this includes compliance with the Operating Manual for the National Police Promotion Framework or such requirements as the College of Policing / PPEB may stipulate nationally TVP has been awarded a Confirmed Licence to deliver the National Police Promotion Framework (NPPF) and will work with the College of Policing to ensure continued compliance to maintain a mandate to promote officers through this framework. 2

3 3.3.3 The Head of People Services 1 will determine the need to run promotion assessments and the number of vacancies to be appointed to, based on the resourcing needs at that time. It should be made clear to all prospective candidates that promotion opportunities are limited, that the process is competitive and that ultimately not all candidates will succeed in gaining a promotion - so that they have a realistic understanding of what is required of them throughout the process Accurate and relevant information on the assessment process will be made available to all staff on the Intranet. Applicants and assessors will be provided with further information, normally electronically, as part of the assessment process. 3.4 The Steps to Promotion The promotion model used in TVP is designed on the National Police Promotion Framework (NPPF) for Sergeant and Inspectors incorporating work-based assessment (WBA). The model has 4 steps: these 4 steps are a continuous process and candidates must undertake each step with the intention of completing the whole process as soon as possible. However, allowances can be made for circumstances such as maternity and paternity leave, workforce planning requirements, availability of vacancies and reasonable adjustments for disabled officers. At each step it is possible for a candidate to attain, exceed or fall short of the required standard. The four steps of the process are: Step One Suitability / Competence in Current Rank (applicable only to officers seeking promotion to the rank of Sergeant and Inspector): The purpose of this step is to ensure candidates are eligible 2 to enter the promotion process. This means establishing a candidate is competent in their current rank and has: completed their probation period in their current rank; demonstrated competence in that rank through their Performance and Development Review (PDR), or Student Officer Learning and Development Review, or acceptable equivalent ; no live written improvement notices issued under the Police (Performance) Regulations 2012 or reduction in rank under those procedures in the previous 18 months; no live written warning, final written warning or extended final written warning issued under Police (Conduct) Regulations (NB; a finding of misconduct where no separate penalty is applied (Reg 35(i)(b)) does not debar an officer from proceeding to Step Two); Adherence to the Attendance Management policy, taking account of the Police Advisory Board guidance on attendance management At Step One the candidate must complete the NPPF Candidate Registration Form and submit it direct to the Force Examinations Officer. Then the candidate must send the Line Manager Endorsement Form to their line manager. The Line Manager must meet with the candidate to discuss the candidate s promotion aspirations with them. The Line 1 Or the Chief Constable / DCC for chief inspectors and above. 2 As set out in the Operating Manual for NPPF & subsequent amendments to national requirements. 3

4 Manager should explain that if they pass the exam they have to achieve promotion within the period their exam pass is valid (see below) or they will have to pass the exam again before seeking promotion. The Line Manager must take a decision and explain whether they have / have not been endorsed to progress to Step Two If a candidate is unsuccessful at Step One, the reason should be recorded and detailed in the candidate s PDR and Line Manager Endorsement Form. All Candidate Registration Forms, whether they have been endorsed or not, must be sent to the College of Policing Examinations and Assessment Business Unit via the Force Examinations Officer Special rules also apply to officers who are on the High Potential Development Scheme or are part of the Fast Track Scheme Where a substantive Sergeant or Inspector is subsequently demoted in rank, they may after any period of disqualification reapply for promotion. In such cases, officers will commence the process at Step One but will not be required to undertake Step Two. If selected at Step Three, they will follow the promotion process under which they were originally successful. NPPF officers will move to Step Four. OSPRE qualified officers will be substantively promoted and subject to a 12 month probationary period (sergeants only). However, the Head of People Services (in consultation with the relevant Business Partner (People)) may determine, on behalf of the Chief Constable, that they undertake work based assessment as part of a development programme Candidates who are successful at Step One will automatically be entered for the next step Two (OSPRE Part One Legal Examination) unless section above applies. Step Two Legal Examination (applicable only to officers seeking promotion to the rank of Sergeant and Inspector): The purpose of this step is to ensure candidates have the appropriate legal knowledge relevant to the rank of sergeant or inspector. The College of Policing manage and administer this step of the process on behalf of police forces in accordance with the OSPRE Rules and Syllabus All candidates who are unsuccessful at Step Two must return to Step One if they still wish to seek promotion A successful outcome at Step Two is valid for 5 years from the date of taking the examination. For a candidate to be eligible to complete Step Three, the final date of the candidate s Step Three assessment process must fall within this five year period. If a candidate has not reached this point at Step Three within five years from the date of taking the Step Two examination, they must return to Step One. However, time taken for maternity or paternity leave, maternity or paternity support, adoption leave, or a career break for the purposes of care does not count towards a reduction of the relevant NPPF Step Two validity period 3. Long term sickness related to a disability should also be discounted. 3 For example, where an officer has three years NPPF Step Two validity (having passed the exam two years previously) and takes maternity leave for one year, the remaining validity upon return will be three years. 4

5 Candidates in the final year of their Step Two pass may choose to enter the OSPRE Part 1exam which falls on the final anniversary of their previous attempt. If they decide to do this they lose any remaining validity period of their previous pass between the closing date for entries to the exam and the exam itself 4. If they decide to retain their full five year validity period (and do not pass Step Three) before it expires, they must wait until the following year to re-enter for the OSPRE Part 1 exam. Step Three Assessment against role specific competencies and matching to vacancies: The purpose of this step is to assess candidates potential to perform at the next rank and to provide a robust and fair mechanism to broadly match the number of successful candidates to the number of expected vacancies The assessment process will be determined by the Head of People Services or Director of People and clearly communicated to staff. It will include the submission of an evidenced based application with supporting PDR via the officer s LPA / OCU Commander / Department Head to a short-listing panel. Applications that are not supported by LPA / OCU Commander / Department Head will not proceed to the short listing panel Additional assessment and selection techniques may also be used to help identify and evidence abilities to perform effectively in the next rank or a specific role, such as presentations, in-tray exercises and psychometric tests The short-listing process is a competitive process; therefore the number of officers short-listed to attend a promotion interview will be determined by the Head of People Services or Director of People taking into account the number of vacancies and the standard of applications For Sergeant and Inspector promotion processes the considerations at above will also be applied to determine the number of officers progressing to Step Four following the promotion interview. Where the number of officers meeting the standard exceeds the number of vacancies only the highest scoring officers will progress to Step Four The competencies assessed will be taken from the Policing Professional Framework (PPF) used to describe the competencies required of each rank and will be appropriate to the rank and (where applicable the role) officers are seeking promotion to For Sergeant and Inspector promotion processes the promotion process and the standard of assessment will be monitored through the use of standardisation meetings and externally through the licensing system Unsuccessful candidates who wish to re-apply for promotion must agree a development action plan with their line manager which must form part of their PDR. Matching to vacancies: 4 I.e. Candidates cannot be entered for the exam and apply for a promotion board (Step Three) simultaneously. 5

6 For Sergeant and Inspector promotion processes at the end of Step Three candidates will be classified as either suitable or unsuitable to progress to Step Four For Sergeant and Inspector promotion processes a candidate who is unsuccessful at Step Three can remain within the NPPF and retake Step Three as long as their Step Two pass remains valid Candidates selected as suitable for promotion will be matched to suitable vacancies (see the Career Pathways and Posting - Police Officers Policy Posting on Promotion Standard Operating Procedure). If there are no available vacancies, individuals will be placed in a pool of candidates to await placement when a suitable vacancy arises this period should not normally exceed 12 months In exceptional cases it may not be possible to place a pooled candidate within 12 months. The Head of People Services will make every effort to place the individual within an additional maximum of 24 months. If no suitable vacancy is found within this extended period (i.e. a maximum of 36 months wait until promotion in total), the candidate must reapply at Step Three. In considering whether or not to extend a candidate s 12 month pool period, the Head of People Services will distinguish between candidates who have not previously been offered temporary promotion at Step Four and those that have, but have declined the posting due to personal preferences (as opposed to reasons that impact on equality); the reason for that choice must be considered taking account of all the circumstances. In some cases it may be more appropriate for the candidate to return to Step Three than to extend their time in the pool. Officers who decline two offered postings due to personal preferences will return to Step Three The Head of People Services will ensure that the management of candidates in the promotion pool is consistent and fair. The additional 24 pooled months is not a default position, but is available for partial or full use only in exceptional circumstances. The Head of People Services will decide what constitutes an exceptional circumstance in the case of promotions to sergeant and inspector The Senior Appointment Board (SAB) will determine postings for Chief Inspectors and above. Step Four Promotion / Temporary Promotion and Work Based Assessment (WBA) (applicable only to officers seeking promotion to the rank of Sergeant and Inspector): The purpose of this step is to provide candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate competence in the rank promoted into and for officers undertaking WBA, to assess them against the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) units, with a view to them achieving substantive promotion at the end of the assessment time frame Officers seeking promotion to the rank of Sergeant and Inspector under the WBA route will be temporarily promoted into the aspired rank for 12 months and assessed against the appropriate QCF units as determined by the Skills for Justice Assessment strategy. The expectation is that candidates will achieve certification by the end of the 12 month period. Candidates need to pass both the academic assessment and evidence satisfactory performance in the rank. Whilst the assessment units may be undertaken and passed in a shorter period, the performance at the temporary rank will be over a minimum 6

7 12 month period. In extenuating circumstances the assessment period can be extended to a maximum of 24 months (see section Extending the Length of Work-based Assessment) Candidates who have successfully completed the 12 month period of temporary promotion and work-based assessment, must be considered for promotion to the substantive rank, subject to their continued overall performance (as evidenced in the PDR), attendance management record, conduct record 5 and recommendation from the candidate s LPA / OCU Commander / Department Head (or nominated delegate). If a candidate who has successfully completed work-based assessment is not given substantive promotion, the reason for this decision must be evidence-based, justifiable and documented. The process must be fair, consistent and capable of withstanding scrutiny If, during Step Four, it appears that a candidate may not reach the required standard they must be informed of the reasons and an action plan put in place A candidate that fails to achieve a satisfactory assessment in all the units during the assessment period (including any extension) must return to Step Three. The candidate must wait for 12 months before they can make a further attempt at Step Three, for which a new application will be required: the exception to this rule is if a candidate leaves Step Four on a temporary basis due to ill health or voluntarily for other welfare reasons which results in the 12 month period being suspended Officers seeking promotion to the rank of Sergeant with a valid OSPRE Part 2 pass will be promoted into a vacant post and will have a 12 month probationary period. They will be confirmed in rank at the 12 month period subject to satisfactory performance, conduct 3, attendance and recommendation from the candidate s LPA / OCU Commander / Department Head (or nominated delegate). The PDR process will be used to evidence and review performance in the newly promoted role during the probationary period High Potential Development Scheme: Candidates aspiring to the ranks of Sergeant or Inspector on the HPDS must go through all the steps of the NPPF with the exception of Step Three. On completing Step Two, HPDS candidates deemed ready for promotion to sergeant or inspector must be prioritised where a suitable promotion vacancy arises. An HPDS candidate can submit a Promotion Assessment form at any stage when they feel ready, but only after they are successful at Step Two. In effect this process replaces Step Three for HPDS candidates. The line manager can recommend promotion based on this evidence and their knowledge of the candidate. If agreed by the ACPO level officer in-force, the candidate can be temporarily promoted and undertake Step Four. As with non-hpds candidates, HPDS candidates will be temporarily promoted to the aspired rank for a period of 12 months and assessed against PPF for that rank. Apart from the exemption from Step Three of the NPPF, HPDS candidates should be treated the same as other candidates that is, with no guarantee of substantive promotion and subject to the same assessment methods Fast Track Scheme: Candidates on the Fast Track Scheme seeking promotion will follow the rules laid down for that scheme. 5 See paragraphs &

8 3.5 Delivery Principles Procedures: The Director of People is responsible for ensuring sufficient resources and suitably skilled staff are available to support the promotion process and standard operating procedures Equality and Diversity: Any qualifications or requirements applied to a rank/post that have or may have the effect of inhibiting applications from certain groups of the population will only be retained if they can be justified in terms of the job to be done Reasonable adjustments will be made for disabled officers to ensure, so far as it is possible, that they are not placed at a disadvantage compared with non-disabled candidates. If reasonable adjustments are required the candidate must inform the force and College of Policing in good time, so that appropriate adjustments can be made at each of the four steps Communication and awareness sessions: Staff will be provided with timely information on: the promotion process, assessment dates, assessment requirements, awareness sessions and learning opportunities in order to allow them to plan and manage their personal development and career plans Decisions: Promotion decisions must be evidenced based, justified and documented. The process must be fair and consistent Development Feedback and ongoing support: Line Managers will provide support to individuals seeking promotion through providing balanced evidenced based promotion assessments and through the PDR process. Officers will be provided with feedback at Steps Three and Four of the promotion process and offered assistance to support them in developing a personal development plan Monitoring and Evaluation: Comments from applicants and assessors are welcomed and will be used combined with quantitative and qualitative data about: number of applicants entering Steps 1-4, the results at each Step, Diversity Data, Appeal Data and information from the environmental scanning process. This information will be used internally to identify areas for improvement and to evidence performance through internal and external inspection requirements Monitoring and evaluation at Step 4 will be completed in line with QCF requirements. Internal verification will be completed where feedback is sought from the officer during the process and evaluated. Officers are invited to complete a questionnaire when they complete Step 4; the results are evaluated and monitored Confidentiality: Applicants, assessors and staff involved in the promotion process are required to maintain the integrity of the process and information obtained as part of that process Data and Documentation: Data obtained in connection with the promotion process will only be used for the purpose for which the information has been collected. 8

9 Information on race, sex, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability and age will be collected in order to monitor the numbers of applications from different groups. This information will not be used in the selection process or for any other use other than this purpose, excepting where information has been disclosed about a disability with the intention of seeking reasonable adjustments (in which case, that information will only be used or disclosed to the extent that it is necessary to do so to enable reasonable adjustments to be put in place) Under the rules set out in the Operating Manual for NPFF forces are required to collect and monitor biographical information for officers seeking promotion to the ranks of Sergeant and Inspector. This data is shared with PPEB for the purposes of monitoring the number of successful and unsuccessful officers at each stage of the process, to determine if any groups are advantaged / disadvantaged by particular steps of the process, so that improvements can be made. Data is also shared with the Awarding Body used by TVP for the purposes of maintaining Centre approval. The Awarding Body requires the Centre to evaluate in the areas of fairness, age, gender and disability Written records of interviews, reasons for decisions made at each stage of the process and reasons for appointment or non-appointment will be kept by People Services for 18 months following the conclusion of the promotion process, unless a longer period can be justified by the Head of People Services (and then only to the extent that is permitted by the Data Protection Act, 1998). Records will be stored in a locked cupboard and only those that require access for specific and authorised purposes will be able to access this information. Records will be disposed of confidentially Assessment records from Step 4 are kept for a period of 3 years as laid down in the Awarding Body Centre requirements. Physical records are kept in a locked, fireproof cabinet and confidentially disposed of. Electronic records are kept in a secure file area and are deleted after retention for 3 years. 3.6 Assessment Assessors: The role of the assessor is key to the promotion process. Assessors must follow the assessment process, ensure fairness, impartiality and consistency of assessment Assessments: Applicant and Assessor assessments must be evidence based, justified and documented. 3.7 Conduct When an officer passes a promotion board the Head of the Professional Standards Department (PSD) is consulted to check if there are any outstanding issues. If there are, promotion (substantive or temporary) will not take place until the issue(s) has been resolved without the approval of the Head of PSD. In rare cases the Head of PSD may highlight to the Head of People Services that, although there is no current conduct issue, the candidate has intelligence / historic issues that warrant further consideration prior to promoting the officer. If the Head of People Services believes as a result of this information / intelligence that it may be appropriate to delay promotion, the individual will be notified and given the opportunity to make representation themselves or via a police 9

10 friend. If a decision is taken to delay promotion, the officer must be set an action plan and a period of time for it to be completed. It is very unlikely that a delay to promotion of more than 12 months (if the action plan is adhered to) will be appropriate In exceptional cases, the Head of Professional Standards may determine that the conduct matter is so serious that the officer must re-apply for promotion so that their suitability for promotion can be re-assessed in the light of their development after the outcome of the conduct case. 3.8 Extenuating Circumstances and Appeals Procedure The PPEB has an overall responsibility to manage the national promotion process to the ranks of Sergeant and Inspector. The PPEB does not, with the exception of Step Two, have a remit to deal with appeals at an individual level. Additionally the PPEB has no remit to review or overturn a decision by a Chief Officer in the selection of an officer at any of the relevant steps within NPPF or comment on the quality of evidence submitted in support of an officer s application or work based assessment Candidates for promotion to Sergeant and inspector may appeal in force, with the exception of Step Two, against a decision at each step of the promotion process. There may also be extenuating circumstances affecting the candidate s ability to successfully complete certain steps. Extenuating circumstances could be a serious event or series of events, such as death or serious illness of a family member, illness, accident or serious injury to the candidate. Each case will be assessed on its merits Candidates for promotion to Sergeant and Inspector should set out their reason and grounds for appeal in writing 6 and submit to Head of People Services 7 within a reasonable time 8 following the incident or being notified of a promotion decision. Appeals will not be permitted on the grounds of a promotion panel s decision alone. Within a reasonable time following the receipt of the written appeal, the Head of People Services 9 (or delegate) will consider the appeal issues and findings and advise the candidate of the appeal decision in writing. This finalises the force promotion appeal procedure. At Step Four, if the in-force appeals procedure is exhausted and the candidate wishes to take their appeal further, the matter may be reported to the awarding body for consideration The appeal policy at Step Two (Legal Examination) is as determined and set out in Rules and Syllabus OSPRE Part 1 Examination, National Police Promotion Framework Step Two Examination and National Investigators Examination. If a candidate is aware of extenuating circumstances before or on the day of the examination, they should decide whether to sign the declaration notice and attempt the exam or not attend Appeals when the Head of Professional Standards has determined a conduct matter is so serious that the officer must re-apply for promotion, should be submitted in writing to the Head of People Services. The decision on these appeals will be taken by the 6 Candidates can request a staff association representative to submit an appeal on their behalf. 7 Excludes Step 2 8 A reasonable time would normally be 14 working days. 9 Appeals on the promotion process from candidates for promotion to Chief Inspector, Superintendent and Chief Superintendent will be considered by a member of the Chief Constable s Management Team. 10

11 Deputy Chief Constable for officers up to the rank of Inspector and by the Chief Constable for Chief Inspector and above. 3.9 Extending the Length of Work Based Assessment (WBA): TVP will consider extension requests in line with the criteria set down by PPEB in the Operating Manual for the NPPF. It is highly unlikely that the period will be extended due to operational commitments The Head of People Services (or delegate) will consider extension requests and take into account any extenuating circumstances, the Assessor s judgement, line manager s recommendation and relevant employment law. It is not necessary to automatically extend a temporary promotion for a further 12 month period in every case, where a shorter period would be appropriate e.g. 2 months may be appropriate. The overall maximum time limit for completion of WBA assessment is 24 months If the candidate still does not succeed in reaching the appropriate standard, they must be removed from Step Four, informed of the reasons for removal and supported by a development action plan. The candidate must wait 12 months from the date they revert to their substantive rank before they can make a further attempt at Step Three Part-Time Candidates in Step Four: The period of time allocated to achieve the PPF must be offered on a pro-rata basis e.g. someone who works exactly 50% of full time hours would have exactly 24 months in which to complete accreditation and achievement of the QCF units. However, part-time candidates may be substantively promoted once they have completed 12 calendar months of temporary promotion, during which time they have demonstrated the required competence and achieved all of the QCF units. Any extension to the temporary promotion, must also be granted on a pro-rata basis commensurate with the part-time hours worked Quality Assurance Standard Operating Procedures have been developed to ensure consistency of delivery and to reflect the policy requirements set out in this document and the NPPF. Staff involved in the promotion process are suitably skilled and their performance is assessed through the PDR process Quality will be maintained in our procedures and systems and validated through periodic internal audits and the Compliance Procedure for the NPPF. In addition Step 4 is quality assured through internal verification and certification by awarding bodies The force is required to demonstrate compliance with the Licensing Criteria specified by the PPEB in order to be able to promote candidates to the ranks of Sergeant and Inspector. Failure to retain the license could result in the force being unable to promote officers to these ranks. 11
