NPOIU policy document on welfare matters 

Detective Chief Superintendent 

In response to your request for sight of the NPOIU welfare policy. please see 1A. Our policy is
closely aligned to SO10 policy and we use the same counselling services. The initial
assessment also uses the same person. We are currently reviewing our use of the
counselling services since we have concerns that the unique experiences in the disorder field are
different to those experienced in the crime field. Our most obvious difference is that a significant
proportion of those persons interacting with the undercover officer are of little or no operational
interest and are not criminal. The potential for 'Stockholm' is therefore much greater.
In addition, the need for adequate medical counselling is much greater in our field, due to dietary -
restriction. poor living conditions and exposure to illnesses and infections.

 

 

I have asked DS- to obtain the SO10 welfare document but to date .has been unable
to contact the relevant person. As soon as- can contact the relevant officer-will report

position.
