WEST MIDLANDS POLICE FEDERATION

WHAT THE FEDERATION CAN DO FOR YOU

The Federation negotiates on all aspects of pay, allowances, hours of duty, annual leave and pensions.  It is consulted when police regulations are made on areas such as promotion, training and discipline.  It takes an active interest in a wide range of subjects which affect the police service and puts forward views on your behalf.  As a result, the Federation is more than a staff association, it is also a professional and consultative body, able to influence not only living standards through pay and benefits, but also the development of professional standards.

We can also:

• Provide legal advice, assistance and costs to members facing criminal proceedings
• Negotiate nationally on police pay, terms and conditions
• Provide welfare advice and help on personal issues
• Provide advice and representation at disciplinary hearings
• Provide advice and representation at industrial tribunals
• Help with civil claims and industrial claims injuries
• Consult, negotiate and facilitate the most up to date health and safety elements for the job
• Give cover for personal public liability
• Assist with grievance procedures
• Act as a consultative body on legislative and political matters
• Seek to influence the political agenda on policing
• Lobby government on changes likely to adversely affect policing
• Contribute to professional reviews on policing
• Offer advice to anyone suffering sexual, racial or other discriminatory harassment
• Speak for and on behalf of rank and file officers in the media and with opinion formers
• Represent our members views
