Police

[Chase100]

Hey I'm newly diagnosed type 1 which has happened at the worst time possible! I have recently passed my assessment to join Northants Police and currently waiting for my start date. I understand that they assess diabetes with each individual. Has anybody joined the police since being diagnosed or know of any reasons why they might not employ me?

Hi. Congratulations on passing your assessment. I am a chaplain with the Met and an independent advisor to BTP as well as being a previous diversity & equalities officer with the Met Police Authority. You might find this helpful. https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Documents/Reports/police_Guidance_FINAL.pdf Shout if I can help further.
