Your workplace. Your experience. Your voice.
This survey isn’t just a tick-box exercise. Your insights help shape decisions that affect your day-to-day working life — both nationally and in your force.
The more people take part, the clearer the picture, and the stronger the case for action.
Important to say. Easy to do.
We’re listening – help us get it right for you
The National Police Wellbeing Survey launches on 19th May 2025. This short, confidential survey is your opportunity to share what it’s really like to work in policing — and what would make it better. It takes under 10 minutes to complete.
We know how demanding policing is. That’s why this survey has been carefully redesigned with your input — to make it shorter, more relevant, and more impactful.
What’s new this year?
We’ve partnered with Leapwise, a policing-specialist consultancy, to create a more agile, focused and faster survey.
- Clearer questions based on what matters most to people in policing
- Faster turnaround of results, with initial dashboards available at survey close
- Designed with input from officers, staff, HR, OH, staff associations, and national leads
This survey looks at a range of key areas, including:
- Wellbeing and work demands
- Support from managers and teams
- Leadership and communication
- Resources, recognition and inclusion
Overall engagement and pride in the service
Who should take part?
All ranks. All roles. All voices.
We want to hear from everyone working in policing: officers, staff, PCSOs, call handlers, volunteers, new recruits, senior leaders - Whatever your role, your views matter.
How to take part
Easy to access. Simple to complete.
- You’ll receive an email from your force with a survey link on launch day
- You can also scan a QR code displayed across your force
- It takes less than 10 minutes to complete
- Questions are short, clear, and focused on your experience at work
- You’ll have time during your working hours to complete the survey – it’s supported by senior leaders and line managers across policing.
Why it’s worth it
This is your chance to shape the future of policing.
What you say will directly inform national and local action. Your feedback helps us create targeted improvements in the things that matter most.
Past survey responses have already led to real changes, including:
- A national sleep, fatigue and recovery programme
- The Police Health Observatory
- A National Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Your feedback is confidential and protected
We don’t need to know who you are – just how you’re doing.
The survey is run by Leapwise, who will manage the design, collection and analysis independently. Responses are anonymous and confidential.
You can speak openly and honestly – and know your views will be respected and valued.
What happens next?
Quick results. Clear action. Regular updates.
- Initial results dashboards will be shared with forces immediately after survey close
- A national report will be published within two months
- You’ll see clear updates on how your feedback is shaping real change in your force and across policing
Have your say – we can improve policing together.
This is your opportunity to influence how policing supports its people. It’s easy to take part. It’s important that you do.
