With more than 100 years’ history of representing, negotiating, and influencing on behalf of its 130,000+ members, the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) was proud to present our Annual Conference,  one of the UK’s largest policing events, which brought together over 1,000 attendees this May. 

Facilitated by talkRADIO host Ian Collins, the conference centered around the theme of Fighting for Fairness, and over the course of two days, speakers provided valuable insights through debate and discussion, raising awareness, sharing good practices, and challenging the balance of fairness around key issues affecting the policing community. The conference also announced and presented the Women in Policing Award 2022.

This year, in addition to welcoming attendees in person again, we were delighted to be able to offer the option to attend virtually, via our online platform, with sessions available to be viewed on this platform for the next month.

This year we were pleased to offer access to sessions at the conference in person and virtually via our online platform.

Our main sessions took place in the form of panel discussions allowing the exploration of differing viewpoints and enabling the audience to participate with questions. Virtual delegates were able to view a live stream of these sessions and pose questions via the online platform. We were also pleased to offer breakout sessions that gave a deeper dive into key topics. These sessions will be recorded so that they can be viewed at leisure and all of the content covered will be accessible to everyone.

The event took place over two days and explored the following topics: Conduct performance, pay and conditions, misogyny, operation uplift, pensions, LQC hearings, case file preparation, and a keynote address. Breakout sessions provided further insight into topics covering: mutual aid, the driving legislation bill, disability discrimination, ill-health retirement, wellbeing, and the unlawful possession of S5 firearms.
