  23. Overall Result - HPDS • To be successful and gain a place on HPDS, candidates must: • Meet the requisite standard at the Assessment Centre (which includes the written exercise score from Stage 2). AND • Be ranked in the top 55 best performing candidates this year.

  24. Overall Result - ACDP • ACDP candidates who meet the standard at the Assessment Centre (which includes the written exercise score from Stage 2) will be recommended to ACPOS for the ACDP scheme. From these recommended candidates, ACPOS will make a decision as to how many are appointed to the ACDP.

  25. HPDS Results and Feedback • Candidates will receive an email – at end of selection process. • They will be told whether or not they have been successful/unsuccessful at gaining a place on HPDS. • Notification will be sent to Chief Constables, Force HR, Leadership Services (HPDS). • All candidates will have the option of one to one feedback.

  26. ACDP Results and Feedback • Candidates will receive an email outlining next steps by 27 November. • Notification of outcomes will be sent to Chief Constables and ACDP Force Liaison Officers. • They will be told whether or not they have been recommended or not recommended for appointment to the ACDP. • All candidates will have the option of one to one feedback. • A copy of your feedback report will be sent to your Chief Constable.

  27. Assessment Myths • Common Assessment myths and misunderstandings to be aware of • It’s just a hoop you have to jump through • There’s a technique to assessment • Training companies will be able to tell me what to do • Being good at what I do means I’m ready • You just act the part/give them what they want/play the game • Buzz words versus evidence • Getting information from a colleague can help • Success is down to me; being unsuccessful is down to the process

  28. Candidate Preparation • Developing your skills against the PPF • Exercises are designed and assessors are trained to assess performance on competencies • Candidates need to be fully aware of the competencies being assessed, but do NOT simply regurgitate at the assessment.

  29. Useful feedback on written exercises Common ineffective approaches • Not completing the task • Repeating the issues from the exercise with no additional analysis • Completing the individual tasks in isolation • Insufficient detail on proposals • Insufficient rationale to support decisions • Including platitudes • No customer focus

  30. Advice for candidates • Be yourself – don’t try to play a role you think the assessors want you to be • Read the instructions and the task • Be flexible – especially if the exercise is not exactly as expected • Use your experience and behave as you would if you faced this scenario at work • Understand the competencies • ‘Demonstrating’ not ‘stating’ - In dealing with the exercises you should naturally be demonstrating the competencies, don’t just repeat the definitions • Consider how to spend the time between exercises to ensure best possible preparation
