Infographics for UK Policing
Easy read infographics
Listening to the experiences of officers and decision-makers through our research, we produceresilience infographics; simple accessible material for guidance and awareness-raising on issues relating specifically for the pandemic but also applicable in other everyday experiences. These were shared on social media with the aim to reach as many people as possible to support police wellbeing at work as practically as possible. Many are transferable across other emergency response and key worker roles.
Infographics include:
Working in isolation: advice on how to adjust smoothly to working more on your own or at home
Dealing with anxiety and uncertainty: understanding the natural and collective anxiety in response to a pandemic
Neurodiversity (unique challenges): raising awareness of unique challenges brought by ASDs, OCD, PTSD, Insomnia, Easting Disorders during the pandemic
Help for people who are helping people: support for those who find themselves supporting others during the pandemic

As 2020 moved out of the first lockdown, we produced some more general resilience, The F Word (fear and threat perception in operational policing) and The C Word (compassion management in operational policing).
For Lockdown#2 two new infographics were produced about what we learned the first time round in lockdown and how we could hardwire those 'lockdown life lessons' for resilience. One is lighthearted, the other more focussed for resilience.
