Strategic Review of the Training and Development Department

SUMMARY:

It is a duty for all Fire Authorities to seek continuous improvements to their service delivery. This is a duty to deliver services to clear standards covering both cost and quality by the most effective, efficient and economic means available.

Training has to be delivered efficiently and at the least cost, commensurate with the level of quality provided. The review will also identify and consider alternative means by which the training delivery function might best be delivered.

The review will be carried out adopting the principles of Best Value. It will include applying the 4 C’s of – Challenge, Compare, Consult and Compete.
