Activity details
ACT Policing are building workforce cultural literacy through initiatives to be embedded into the learning continuum for members to increase cultural competence. ACT Policing have established a First Nations Working Group and have contracted an Indigenous led organisation to design, deliver and evaluate a First Nations Cultural Literacy Training Program (FNCLTP) mandatory for all police officers and public facing roles.
Implementation progress update
The FNCLTP was piloted by members of the ACT Policing’s Executive and First Nations Working Group in October 2023, before being rolled out to the rest of the workforce.
Participation in the FNCLTP was mandatory for all police officers of ACT Policing together with public-facing professional roles.
Professional staff in other roles who have a personal or professional interest were encouraged to participate and many proactively sought the opportunity to do so. By 31 July 2024, 754 members had completed the course.
