Cause of Concern recommendations tracked by HMICFRS for Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service (2018-19)
Recommendations
F1
Completed
Cause of concern: Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service does not have a clear protection strategy that describes how it will manage its statutory responsibilities using its risk-based inspection programme (RBIP) to identify the highest-risk premises. The service has difficulty in maintaining and interpreting its data and can’t carry out the number of audits of high-risk premises that it commits to as part of its RBIP.
Recommendation: By 30 April 2020, the service should agree a plan to ensure its risk-based inspection programme is sufficiently resourced and targets its highest risk premises.
