# The Police (Promotion) (Amendment) Regulations 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Police (Promotion) Regulations 1996 (“the Promotion Regulations”) to allow a police constable who is on temporary promotion to the rank of sergeant while undertaking a work-based assessment for substantive promotion to that rank, and who is taking part in the High Potential Development Scheme (“the HPD Scheme”), to undertake the initial written examination for promotion to the rank of inspector. At present, the Promotion Regulations prevent any police constable temporarily promoted to the rank of sergeant from taking the inspectors’ written examination.
Regulation 6 of the Promotion Regulations makes provision for temporary promotion. Regulation 7 makes provision for the HPD Scheme. Paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 makes provision for the use of written examinations (referred to as Part I of the qualifying assessment) and a work-based assessment (referred to as Part IIB).
