Duty of Care

Written by the Ex-wife of a long serving Officer, the author witnessed first-hand the effects of PTSD on her husband and the impact on the family as a whole. This book is the second edition and tells some of that story, of the daily life and struggles of PTSD sufferers and experiences as told by Cops and their partners.Inside the reader will be offered real world advice on how to potentially spot the onset of PTSD, how to seek help and most importantly how to advocate for oneself when dealing with the Constabulary who is responsible for duty of care. The author was Founder and CEO of Safe Horizon UK, a Registered Charity providing a peer support and advocacy service for (ex) Officers and their families (2014-2020). This semi-autobiographical book was first published in 2014 and offers a historical insight into psychological injury within the policing family.
