This forum is for anyone with an interest in the Fire and Rescue Service National Framework to contribute their ideas and suggestions for the 2008 Framework.
We welcome your thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of the current Framework and how we could look to improve the next Framework, in particular:
Is the Framework effective in conveying Government’s expectations of the fire and rescue service? How might we improve it? Is the length of the document right? Do you think the document could be improved by including more or less detail? Are the chapter headings useful and covering the areas of most importance for the service? What are your views on how the content is structured overall? Is the Framework’s two-year lifespan appropriate?
The National Framework (NF) is a statutory guidance document that sets out Communities and Local Government’s expectations of the fire and rescue service. It is revised bi-annually by Government in consultation with the Service.
The policy team will read all posts and participate in the discussion where relevant.
