He talks with great warmth and compassion about the pastoral care offered by police chaplains - 500 volunteers working in police forces across the country. Reflecting on recent national events and the impact of changes to policing, Matthew offers his thoughts and advice on how to navigate through challenging times. He shares how he looks after himself as he looks after so many in this important national role.  Speakers: Catherine Levin, Emergency Services Times Reverend Matthew Hopley, National Police Chaplain   CPD accreditation from CPDme This episode is worth 0.5 CPD points.
