Resourcing to Risk is a programme to identify how we can best position our resources to make the biggest difference to the communities we serve. In order to deliver on our Prevention, Protection and Response Strategy (PDF, 3 MB), we must have the right resource, in the right place and at the right time.
From 11 December 2023 to 10 March 2024, we invited views and feedback on the Resourcing to Risk proposal via www.ask.warwickshire.gov.uk. We are grateful to everyone who completed the survey and took the time to join us at one of the information sessions that were held around Warwickshire at the start of 2024.
As the Fire Authority, WCC’s Cabinet has authorised the Chief Fire Officer, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Fire and Rescue and Community Safety, to consider the feedback from this public consultation together with the views of staff, partners and representative bodies and to subsequently report back to Cabinet.
We expect that the final analysis and recommendations will be considered by Cabinet at the meeting in June 2024. This may be subject to change and any further updates will be shared here.
