Trauma management in UK policing survey

​The project develops work undertaken by the University of Cambridge with the European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS)- looking at job quality- and expands this into the area of contemporary policing, with a specific focus on trauma exposure and trauma management. The national study is the first to address the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the UK police and Complex PTSD (CPTSD) in a professional population, using the new International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) from the ICD-11. The dataset provides insight into force-level access to treatment pathways and interventions and analysis will consider how experiences of trauma management influence perceptions of policing as 'decent work' in the current labour market.
