Police Federation of England and Wales
Governance and institutional knowledge at national scale
Across three successive roles since 2021, the work has ranged from running a national membership programme across all 43 police forces to supporting the most senior governance and executive activity: Board and Council business, briefings, action tracking, sensitive records and high-stakes delivery.
The need
High-stakes governance creates a constant flow of papers, decisions, correspondence, permissions and follow-up. The operational challenge was to make that work reliable under pressure while keeping information controlled, retrievable and useful to the people making decisions.
My contribution
- Supported National Board and National Council governance cycles through papers, packs, briefings, actions and on-the-day delivery.
- Managed controlled SharePoint governance spaces and designed an authoritative Directorate document repository.
- Drafted senior briefings and governance material for executive and national stakeholders.
- Co-led the first in-house National Council meeting model, including risks, stakeholders and operational delivery.
- Earlier helped establish and then independently ran the national Special Constable membership programme across all 43 police forces.
Outcome≈£50k
Before: National Council used an external-venue format. After: the first in-house model saved approximately £50,000 while maintaining national governance delivery. The wider work shows executive and programme operations, governance discipline, knowledge architecture and politically sensitive stakeholder coordination.
