We know from responses to the Injury on Duty research published by Police Care UK, and from the feedback from the people we currently care for, that the children of serving and veteran police officers and staff, and volunteers, experience life challenges that are completely different to their peers.
Policing takes a huge toll on families, especially children. Emotionally and financially. That's why, as well as providing access to our confidential careline to all family members, we offer educational bursaries of £3,000 per year for children and young adults aged 18-25 in full-time higher or further education.
If you are the child of a serving, veteran, or deceased police employee (officer, staff, or volunteer) from a UK police force, and are in confirmed full-time further education at a recognised academic organisation, then you can apply for a grant of up to £3,000 per year towards living costs.
