Testimonial – Greater Manchester Police

The strategy and direction that Oscar Kilo provide is invaluable to Police Forces.

Oscar Kilo has been instrumental in transforming how we approach wellbeing across our force. Their direction has enabled us to further enhance a culture of proactive wellbeing, ensuring our officers and staff are equipped to handle the demands of policing. This is a critical priority for GMP.

Through the National Police Wellbeing Service, we are able to access many tailored resources such as the Blue Light Wellbeing Framework and the National Police Health and Wellbeing Strategy. These have helped us develop structured, evidence-based approaches to wellbeing that are now part of our everyday operations.

The introduction of peer support networks, has made a difference in morale and mental health of our workforce.  Oscar Kilo’s guidance after major public disorder events helped us improve our operational welfare, including hydration, nutrition, and psychological support for officers and staff.  GMP have recently benefited from the Oscar Kilo Wellbeing vans being deployed to support our workforce during a major incident.

One of the most significant and innovative programmes is the introduction of the  24/7 Mental Health Crisis Line in 2025, which provides vital support to our staff, offering confidential help in times of crisis. We’ve also seen the benefits of their resources for families and leavers, reinforcing that wellbeing extends beyond the workplace.

Oscar Kilo has helped us move from reactive support to a preventative, holistic wellbeing strategy. Their partnership has strengthened our resilience and enhanced our ability to serve the public effectively and compassionately.
