Who We Are

The Learning and Confidence Committee is a multi-agency committee that has been established to disseminate and promote learning across the police service. Its members, who all have a role to play in enhancing the service provided by the police, are:

Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) - leads and coordinates the direction and development of the police service
Association of Police Authorities (APA) - police authorities are responsible for ensuring the local police force is efficient and effective
Home Office - overall responsibility for the police service
Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) - recommends improvements to police policy and practice in the light of issues arising from the police complaints/conduct system
HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) - responsible for inspecting and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the police service
National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) - supports the police service by providing expertise, training and support in developing policy.

Police Superintendents Association – a professional association representing senior police officers.

Police Federation - a staff association for all police constables, sergeants and inspectors (including chief inspectors).

The Committee is chaired by a representative of the IPCC.
