Themes in IPCC work

This section provides information on the current themes that the IPCC feel are important in our guardianship role of working towards improving confidence in the police through the complaints system, by working on the issues that underpin many of the complaints against the police.

Mental Health and Policing
Mental Health is a factor in many of the most serious cases of police misconduct investigated by the IPCC. Over 50% of deaths in police custody are of people with some form of mental health problem.

The IPCC and Diversity
The IPCC is committed to living and breathing diversity as an organisation. We hope to learn from the creativity and insight of all of our staff and the people we come into contact with, aiming to lead by example.
