Following recommendations in HMICFRS’ 2024 report Standards of Behaviour: The Handling of Misconduct in Fire and Rescue Services, NFCC has developed draft guidance to support fire and rescue services in safely identifying and sharing key learning from misconduct cases. The guidance aims to support services to identify and share learning from misconduct, and to understand and meet their legal obligations when doing so. Learning from misconduct cases supports good practice in the management of misconduct and can also provide wider benefits for service's cultures, safety and effectiveness.
The guidance aims to help services to develop consistent and legally compliant approaches to identifying and sharing misconduct learning, and to support safe and effective internal and external sharing. It includes advice on organisational learning, data protection and anonymisation, safeguarding, key wellbeing and legal considerations, and the channels services can utilise to share their learning locally and across the sector.
This is a draft document, and we are seeking views from stakeholders before publication.
If you would like to prepare your response, you can review the questions in advance. There is also a save and continue function that can be used throughout the consultation so that you can return to your response later and pick up where you left off.
This survey will close end of the day Monday 30 November. If you have any questions, please contact NFCC PCL Hub.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this consultation.
