Welfare Support Programme

We know that different police forces have different services, support and provisions in place to support officers, however, there may be times when more specialist provision is needed – which is why we have a Welfare Support Programme (WSP) in place.

The WSP provides invaluable support to members throughout England and Wales. The service is provided by Defence Medical Welfare Service (DMWS) and is available to all subscribing PFEW members – Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00.

The following support is provided by WSP:

  • practical and mental support
  • clinical assessment and dedicated counselling
  • person-centred support (via telephone or face-to-face)
  • access to fully trained and accredited professionals
  • independent and confidential support
  • referrals to appropriate follow-on specialist support.

If you are a subscribing PFEW member and would like more information, please contact us.
