About us
At Oscar Kilo, the National Police Wellbeing Service, we understand the unique challenges faced by those working in the police and we’ve developed open access, online wellbeing resources that have been designed for policing – by policing. We want every member of the police service to feel confident that their wellbeing is taken seriously, and we’ll make sure that every force has access to the best guidance and support to provide world class wellbeing support for everyone who works for them. Along with support & guidance we’re focusing on providing resources for individual officers and staff, reducing the stigma around mental health, building resilience and improving self-help skills. Our support doesn’t stop when you leave the force. And we’re also here for the families and friends of those working in the police. The Oscar Kilo website is open access which means it doesn’t matter who you are, you can now find out about what the National Police Wellbeing Service offers and see the resources, guidance and examples of best practice that we signpost to. We’re also the only place that hosts the Blue Light Wellbeing Framework, and brings together everyone who is responsible for wellbeing within policing. Our aim is to help every member of the police service to understand how to build personal resilience, to feel confident that they can speak up when things aren’t going well and to get the best personalised support possible when they do. Find out more about the service and what's on offer on www.oscarkilo.org.uk This page is not monitored 24/7

It was an honour to come together with the Prince and Princess of Wales in Southport yesterday, where they met the bereaved families of those lost in the fatal knife attack in July, as well as emergency responders who were on the scene. Our NPWS Service Director, Andy Rhodes OBE QPM, was present to facilitate the conversation between the responders and their Royal Highnesses at Southport Community Centre. The royal couple thanked the emergency workers from police and health services and spoke about the importance of protecting their wellbeing and mental health.

Working in policing, isn’t a regular 9-5. Long hours and shift patterns can be hard, and it doesn’t just take a toll on the person in the job. It can be really hard for loved ones at home too. Today marks #WorldMentalHealthDay, an important reminder to check in on ourselves and loved ones. If you work in policing, you might find our guide on mental health for policing families helpful. It includes practical advice on what to do and where to go when you or your loved ones are struggling. Check it out here: https://brnw.ch/21wNE1f

We’re delighted to announce that Paul Fotheringham, former President of the PSA, is joining us to support the introduction of our new Workforce Prioritisation Guidance. The new guidance brings all the key resources for forces together in one place and sets out what level of support should be accessible for officers and staff. As usual, it is underpinned by research and is designed to be a practical resource, informed by feedback from those working in policing. As a Strategic Delivery Partner, Paul will be reaching out to forces to socialise the guidance and support its adaption. For more information, please check out our website: https://lnkd.in/eRZZatGB Andy Rhodes OBE QPM

September has been a busy month! There was the Emergency Services Show, the Police Superintendents conference and we released the findings of our police families wellbeing research. Sadly, we also had to send a wellbeing van to a major incident in Bedfordshire. In happier news, one of the amazing OK9 wellbeing dogs recently won a very well-deserved award! A round of a paws for Keo 🐾 Find out more about this and much more, including what we've got planned next, in our latest bulletin: https://lnkd.in/eekuj_52
