FAQ: How do you support neurodiversity in your recruitment process?

We blind screen applications to ensure our process is inclusive and free from bias by training our assessors and continuously reviewing our data.
Time adjustments can be requested to better support candidates in assessments, such as more time for written exercises and reading materials. Resources are also provided before assessments so that candidates can feel prepared.
Our Performance and Development Coaches (PDCs) work closely with participants on the programme. If extra coaching sessions are needed, they are available during the participant’s journey with Police Now.
Our recruitment team works closely with forces to ensure participants are given the support that they need when they join policing. Information is also provided on national and peer support networks that are available to new recruits.
