What Police Officers / Staff are saying about the Gateway

“It was useful to look and sort of reflect on the translatable skills. And you know from a personal perspective, I've not decided where I want to go beyond policing, but having all the time to think about how the stuff that you do day-to-day and thinking about it can translate into you know industry was helpful”

“The most impactive pre-retirement inputs I have had by far.”
Â

“It was so incredibly useful both emotionally and practically. Allowing me to focus on my career journey and reflect on my values and vision of my next chapter with colleagues in a similar position; so invaluable. I never knew I needed these courses until I had done them!”
