This form is intended to be a quick reference guide to assist line managers when conducting Integrity Health Checks as part of the PDR process.

Statement from Chief Constable Lawson, National Counter Corruption Advisory Group Portfolio Holder.

“Our behaviour, actions and decisions will be always in support of the public interest. We value public trust and confidence in policing as an institution, and to earn this we will be open to scrutiny and transparent.”

·  Business Interests – Managers should check the appraisee’s awareness of the Business Interest Policy (02119)and confirm if they carry out any paid or unpaid/voluntary work outside of their police role and whether that has been declared to Line Managers and then the Anti Corruption Unit for recording and approval.
·  Reportable Associations – Managers should check appraisee’s awareness of the Reportable Associations Policy (02115) and ensure any relevant associations they have are declared to line managers and the Anti Corruption Unit for recording and assessment.
·  Unmanageable Debt Issues – Appraisees should be made aware that there is organisational support for people with unmanageable debt issues. FPP 02121 provides specific guidance and support on this topic. Such issues should be raised initially with line managers and then with the Vetting Unit for assessment. The Vetting Unit can provide the relevant contact details for the Police Federation/Unison Employee Support Line /support networks. Unmanageable debt issues must be declared even if the appraisee does not wish to seek any support from the organisation.
·  Gifts, Gratuities and Hospitality – Managers should ensure that appraisee’s are aware of the Gifts, Gratuities and Hospitality Procedure and declare any gifts, gratuities or hospitality offers to their line manager for recording with PSD even if the gift, gratuity or hospitality offer was turned down
·  Self Service / Vetting Records– Managers should take the opportunity to ensure that employees have updated their personal records on the self service intranet page which includes changes of addresses and change of name. To update vetting record please inform the recruitment vetting mailbox of changes to marital status (name change or divorce), new partner, new co residents, involvement with the police (other than in your normal course of duties) new social networking accounts, disciplinary action and significant changes in financial circumstances.
·  Mandatory Training – Managers should ensure that the appraisee has completed all their mandatory and relevant training throughout the year. / Discussed with appraisee
