- Decision
- Carried
Conference condemns the proposals of ACPO to introduce service confidence procedures into the police service. The proposals suggest that staff can have punitive measures taken against them without the right to a fair hearing or knowing the nature of the allegations. Conference believes this to be unacceptable. Conference believes that all staff have the right to a fair hearing and the right to be confronted with any allegations relating to their conduct and to respond to those allegations prior to any sanction being imposed.
Conference instructs the Service Group Executive to:
1)resist the introduction of these procedures;
2)seek legal advice and guidance;
3)provide advice guidance and support to branches.
