Date Responded 12 October 2021

Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')

As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.

You asked:

Can I ask for copies of any current unconscious bias training materials, either held on internal web systems/databases, or used as part of training courses and held in a retrievable format?

These could be power point presentations, PDFs, Word documents or similar style materials which are used as part of current unconscious bias training courses, or which are held for staff to access on internal web systems or computer databases.

In Response:

Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Training Department of Northumbria Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is not held by Northumbria Police.

Disclaimer

Due to the different methods of recording information across 43 forces, a specific response from one constabulary should not be seen as an indication of what information could be supplied (within cost) by another. Systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. For this reason responses between forces may differ, and should not be used for comparative purposes.

The information we have supplied to you is likely to contain intellectual property rights of Northumbria Police. Your use of the information must be strictly in accordance with the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 (as amended) or such other applicable legislation. In particular, you must not re-use this information for any commercial purpose.
