Some staff haven’t had continuing training in these skills for many years. There is no individual re-assessment of competence for incident command. It should act immediately to address this.
Recommendation: By 28 February 2020, the Brigade should:Develop a plan to reassess incident command competence at all levels in line with national guidance and to determine what arrangements it will put in place where staff fail to achieve the standard set by the Brigade.
