The Hydrant Programme is a national policing programme supporting the work of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) Child Protection and Abuse Investigation Working Group. Originally the programme was established in 2014 to coordinate the response to non-recent child sexual abuse but is now supporting forces across all child protection and abuse investigation issues.
Hydrant develops policy and strategy on behalf of the NPCC, develops and delivers best practice advice including a learning, review and improvement function, provides a strategic analysis capability, continuous professional development to forces, strategic communications support to forces and partnership engagement with key stakeholders and partners.
