As a member of the Wiltshire Police World of Work Scheme it is important both you and your parents / carers fully understand what is required of you throughout the entire time you are on Police premises, and whilst you are in the care of your leaders or members of the Force.

. To demonstrate the highest standard of behaviour, attitude and conduct at all times

. Not to be absent from the scheme without the knowledge or permission of the leader

What Could Happen if You Break the Rules?

If you break the rules above the following could apply to you

 Verbal warning – normally given for a first minor breach of the code

 Exclusion from the scheme – if you are given a verbal warning and commit a further breach you will be excluded from the scheme unless exceptional circumstances apply. Any appeal against exclusion will be heard by the Wiltshire Police World of Work Governance.
