■■ A series of violence mitigation workshops were held to further develop skills in dealing with conflict, which has led to new procedures, a bespoke training programme (piloted and then put in place from June 2015) and a revision of the induction training given to new enforcement staff ■■ New rosters include operational buddy-ups in known risk areas ■■ Technology, both hardware and software, has been upgraded to provide further support for the officers. All our officers were given new uniforms this year to better equip them for the conditions they face, along with 30+ sunscreen and annual skin checks. Thousands of old uniform items were shipped to Earthlink, a not-for-profit organisation in the Hutt Valley that is piloting a social enterprise project to turn pre-loved corporate apparel into trendy children's fashion. The corporate apparel project is assisting Earthlink to become sustainable by driving revenue to support these projects.
RESULTS OF HEALTH AND WELLBEING PROGRAMMES Annual health and wellbeing programmes run since 2013 have produced significant results. The average heart age of the organisation continues to fall, in part due to the wellbeing programmes we have run in the past 12 months. Reporting on medical treatment injuries and assaults is no longer directly comparable as results from 2015 onwards are being aligned to financial reporting years. The reality is a slight decline over the three-year period. EMPLOYEE HEALTH STATISTICS 2015
