Deferred
Paragraph: 110
Commit NPCC to timeframe for Race Action Plan and 'accept or explain' ISOB recommendations.
Recommendation
The National Race Action Plan contains admirable aspirations. Stakeholders need to ensure they are realised speedily. We recommend the NPCC commit to a clear timeframe for the next iteration of the plan and adopt an “accept or explain” response to ISOB’s recommendations.
Government Response Summary
The government details the launch of the new non-degree Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP) and the College of Policing's ongoing monitoring of all entry routes, which is unrelated to the National Race Action Plan or ISOB recommendations.

111. The new non-degree entry route into policing (Police Constable Entry Programme) is due to launch to new recruits in April 2024. Whilst the PCEP route will not result in a formal level 6 qualification, officers who join via this route will be judged as to whether they are competently operating a year after their time on the programme. 112. All policing entry routes are based on the same national policing curriculum ensuring all entrants into policing cover the same content. The College will continue to monitor the effectiveness of all entry routes to make sure they are optimised for candidates and forces.
