Addressed to: Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service
Cause of concern: Prevention activity is not a sufficiently high priority for the service and it is not adequately identifying those most at risk from fire.
Recommendation: By 31 August 2021, the service should have plans in place for an effective system to define the levels of risk in the community.

Recommendation: By 31 August 2021, the service should have plans in place for the review of systems and processes for dealing with referrals from partner agencies. This is to make sure they are managed effectively and the backlog of safe and well visits is reduced and resourced in accordance with risk.
