Police Scotland earned this award through their comprehensive suite of learning resources and products including OnDemand learning, bitesize facilitator sessions, and an online equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) module created in partnership with Marshall E-Learning, a Ciphr company.

The award not only recognises the breadth and focus of the programme, but also the ease of access with which offices and staff at Police Scotland can participate in the learning products.

Marshalls are delighted to learn that our "Introduction to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion" module, created in close partnership with Police Scotland's Continuous Professional Development Team, was part of the award submission. Working closely together, the team at Marshalls and Police Scotland's Continuous Professional Development Team were able to bring together their individual specialisms in order to deliver a well-received learning experience.

Ann Allcock, Head of Diversity at Marshalls, who worked closely on the content with Police Scotland, says, "It was a privilege for the Marshalls team to work with Police Scotland on this diversity and inclusion module, from inception to launch, and to use their expertise to help turn a vision into reality. We're delighted that learner evaluation and feedback has been so positive overall, and it's our hope that the course will serve as an engaging and practical diversity and inclusion resource for Police Scotland's dedicated officers and staff."

The reception of the course by staff and officers at Police Scotland has been resoundingly positive, with the vast majority (89%) of learners agreeing that they feel confident about applying their knowledge of EDI in their role.

Learners commented that they found the course, "... extremely informative and thought provoking. This has provided me with an opportunity to examine my behavioral traits and ensure that I react appropriately to and apply all the elements of the training module."
