Competency and Values
The competency and values framework (2024) replaces this version (2016). All forces are being encouraged to embed the updated CVF into their processes. Your force has until 1 May 2025 to transition to this revised version.
The Competency and Values Framework (CVF) sets out nationally recognised behaviours and values to support all policing professionals. The CVF has six competencies that are clustered into three groups. All of the competencies are underpinned by four values that should support everything we do as a police service.
Further guidance and information is available below.
