by posters, social media and an education pack for all primary and secondary schools across the policing area. The educational campaign will provide an opportunity for students of all ages to take part in activities, including a colouring competition for younger pupils, a lesson and the opportunity to meet their local officer, police staff or PCSO. Detective Inspector Liz Warner, of WOW, said: “WOW aims to provide a support network for all women, whether officers, staff, Special Constables, apprentices or volunteers, and helps our women to fulfil their full potential and to work with others to progress diversity issues. “The first major piece of work undertaken by WOW is the #UncoverYourPotential campaign. We wanted to tackle general sexism within society and challenge unconscious bias both within the force and amongst the public regarding the stereotyping of certain roles in the police service. We also wanted to show the huge range of opportunities available to everyone if they join West Mercia Police – we are about so much more than bobbies on the beat! “We also hope that the campaign will encourage more women to join our force. Our counties are increasingly diverse, and in order to have a work- force which reflects our communities and provides a better service to our public, we need more women to work with us, whether in frontline policing or one of our vital support staff roles.” You can view the video on West Mercia Police's YouTube channel. * * * * * Safer Internet Day Safer Internet Day 2020 will be on Tuesday 11th February 2020 with the slogan: Together for a better internet.
