Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Police Promotion Regulations 1996 (“the 1996 Regulations”) to implement the decision to require all forces to use the National Police Promotion Framework, which includes an assessment based on a written paper, and a work based assessment. Officers who passed the previous practical tests element of the assessment prior to 1st April 2015 will still be eligible for promotion.

These Regulations also amend the 1996 Regulations to replace references to the examinations board with references to the College of Policing.
