Knowledge, tools, confidence and skills for senior leaders who identify as being from a group currently underrepresented in the service.
This programme is suitable for chief inspectors, superintendents and police staff with equivalent responsibility. Underrepresentation is determined using Home Office workforce data.

During the course, delegates will work in a mixed cohort of senior leaders to address the following key themes.
- Developing self-awareness and confidence.
- Sharing experience and peer support.
- Developing self-directed learning and development.
- Inclusion.
