In March 2024, The Open University published the Conditions of Registration 2024/25 Supplementary Agreement (Policing) for the first time.
There were a number of significant changes from the previous version of this policy Conditions of Registration 2023/24 Supplementary Agreement (Policing)). These are:
a) Addition of Clause 1.2, outlining that you will need to satisfy all requirements and conditions stipulated by your Employer Police Force, in order to register and remain on the PCDA or PCSO-A qualification.
b) Clause 1.3 has been reworded for clarity without changing the message.
c) Inclusion of the Police Community Support Officer Apprenticeship in the Glossary definition of “Employer Police Force”.
d) The “Supplementary Agreements superseded by this document” section has been moved from the start to the end of this document.
e) Change from “Apprenticeship Enrolment and Support Team” to “Apprentice Enrolment and Support Team” throughout.
f) Revised definition of “Apprentice Enrolment and Support Team” in the Glossary without changing the meaning.
g) The term Apprentice has been used instead of Learner, where appropriate.
