Implications: Caution should be exercised when comparing figures for individual functions over time and across forces. Details of known inconsistencies are included in the data tables.

Internal news
these data should cover length of service in the whole of the police service, not just in the current force Caring for a better health: An investigation into the health needs of care leavers. The Care Leavers Association. 2017. Ethnicity facts and figures – the statistics are used by the Race Disparity Unit within Cabinet Office to monitor the ethnic diversity of public services, including the police workforce. The data feed into the ‘Police workforce ethnicity facts and figures’ published on gov.uk. Sulimani-Aidan, Y et al. Psychological distress among care leavers during the transition to adulthood: Risk and protective factors throughout their life. Child and Family Social Work. 2022: 27: 324-339. Third parties – the statistics are used by a range of third parties, from civil liberty groups to academics.
Special constables are members of the public who volunteer to help the police in their duties. They have the same powers as regular officers, but do not have fixed working hours (as they may fit their time around their paid work, for example) and therefore it is inappropriate to collect figures in terms of full-time equivalent. Figures are presented in terms of headcount only. Year on year changes in the number of special constables and police support volunteers should be treated with some caution, particularly at force level. The University of Manchester is committed to supporting young people who are care experienced or estranged to succeed in higher education. Implications: Over time the size and structure of the population will change; however, year on year changes are not captured. ONS use the latest census to calculate mid-year population estimates for the years between the censuses.
The Who Cares? Trust
The NHS Long Term Plan recognised the impact that “the most vulnerable children, who need extra help from the state to safeguard their wellbeing, do not reliably get the support or access to the services that their needs demand. This results in poorer health outcomes, particularly for care leavers.” (5) In 2021, for the first time in this series data has been collected on ethnicity at the 18+1 ONS 2011 Census classifications, meaning that more detailed data are now available (they were previously collected at the aggregated 5+1 level). In 2023, data on ethnicity was collected at the 19+1 ONS Census 2021 classifications.
Breakdowns by protected characterise may not always be totally accurate. Cases where individuals have not provided their data appear as “not stated” within the data tables. Some forces have larger proportions of these cases than others. Workers may also opt to choose “Prefer not to say”.All official statistics should comply with the Code of Practice for Statistics. The Code provides producers of Official Statistics with practices they must commit to when producing and releasing Official Statistics. When producers of Official Statistics comply with the Code, it gives users of the statistics and members of the public confidence that statistics published by government are of public value, are high quality and are produced by people and organisations that are worthy of trust. The Income Tax exemption will ensure that the tax treatment of a bursary to care leavers who undertake an apprenticeship is the same as the tax treatment of a bursary to care leavers who enter higher education.
Whilst not all children in care will have experienced maltreatment, the impact of being in care has lasting effects which can lead to ongoing trauma. Meltzer et al (4) propose that 45% of children in care have at least one psychiatric diagnosis, and this increases to 72% in residential care – compared to 10% in the general young person population. This has significant implications for the National Health Service (NHS) both in terms of worse health outcomes (1) but also how the NHS responds and understands these health needs. However, does the NHS recognise its role? The section below outlines the key characteristics and limitations of each dataset. Where there are limitations, the implications of these in terms of uses of the data are outlined. The strengths and limitations of the data vary from force to force depending on specific internal data collection and quality assurance procedures.

Implications: Research into the stability of ethnic identity in England and Wales (2001-2011) found that changes to an individuals’ sense of identify can occur between Census years. An individual may feel their ethnicity does not fit with the categories offered in the Census. This could also affect other protected characteristics such as gender. The impact of this is likely to be small compared to the change in the population between Censuses. Adjusted duties: duties falling short of full deployment, in respect of which workplace adjustments (including reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010) have been made to overcome barriers to working. For an officer to be placed on adjusted duties, he or she must be attending work on a regular basis and be working for the full number of hours for which he or she is paid (in either a full time or part time substantive role). Health inequalities is not a new problem, as outlined in the Marmot Review 2010 (7). The HiQiP outlines a targeted population approach, which is referred to as Core20PLUS5 (8). The Core20 includes the 20% most deprived based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). Second, the PLUS which covers Integrated Care System (ICS) identified population groups whose health is disproportionally disadvantaged. Lastly, the 5 clinically determined risk groups – maternity, severe mental illness, chronic respiratory, early cancer, and hypertension case finding. Other statistical publications – the data feed into a number of other statistical bulletins. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) produce 2 statistical bulletins which draw on police diversity data published in this series. These are: Persons employed by the police authority who have been chosen by chief officers to exercise specific powers that would otherwise only be available to police officers. Despite having these powers, designated officers are not police officers. They were introduced as part of the Police Reform Act 2002, sections 38 and 39 and this legislation enables the appropriate designation of skilled police staff to one or more of 4 roles:
