- Decision
- Carried
Conference notes the positive actions undertaken by the Police Staff Service Group National Officer and the UNISON General Secretary in supporting Police Community Support Officers after a tragic accident in Manchester, where our colleagues were abused and attacked by the national press. Furthermore Conference notes the letter sent by the General Secretary to the Press Complaints Commission formally complaining.
These positive steps need to be reinforced and a continued positive press campaign linked to negative national press comments needs to be undertaken. Conference instructs the Service Group Executive to formulate a strategy which responds to press attacks.
