The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) has today (3/4) published an independent review into Thames Valley Police's handling of the loss of a recent race discrimination Employment Tribunal and its diversity, inclusion and equalities policies more broadly.
The independent review, led by Kerrin Wilson QPM, was instigated following an employment tribunal published in August 2024, which found that the force had discriminated against three white police officers who raised concerns about race discrimination after not being provided the same opportunity to apply for a role as others.
The published report points to a number of areas of learning for the force, which Chief Constable Jason Hogg is leading on implementing. These include considerations around trust, transparency and consistency.
Mr Hogg commented: “The review's findings and recommendations will help guide our next steps as we work together to foster an environment where all our people feel valued and supported.
“Thames Valley Police takes these recommendations seriously and will use them as it seeks to improve.
“I am also pleased that the report recognises that Thames Valley Police is an organisation that has “wonderful people with passion and ways of working that deliver excellent policing for its communities” and that the force is effective in tackling crime and supporting those most vulnerable.”
