For S3E5, I share a trilogy of related videos uploaded to YouTube last month, just before the Casey Review published. The themes are centred around violence against women and girls, and how VAWG may well feature on your promotion boards. You may find these audio versions helpful if you haven't seen the videos, or indeed just want a useful reminder on your commute now that the news focus has moved on to other things.

First, I cover the subject of conduct and setting standards. Then I talk through the NPCC's VAWG reports, covering all facets of that. Finally, I go in depth into the subject of investigations, specifically relating to the Elizabeth Stanko report on the police investigation of sexual offences. I include various promotion board questions and prompts for you as an aspiring leader to be aware of the zeitgeist around these wider policing issues. You'll also find relevant articles about VAWG, investigations, and ethics at my free blog (see links below).

As a coach/mentor supporting police promotion candidates across the UK and beyond, I aim to provide valuable and meaningful insights to help you succeed in promotion; especially those aspiring to Sergeant, Inspector and Chief Inspector. I hope you find this podcast helpful leadership CPD. Please 'pass the ladder down' and share with colleagues to support their leadership development too. As always, I welcome your thoughts/feedback.
