Fire and Rescue Service secondary employment policy - Find a freedom of information request

Request

Fire and Rescue Service

1. Regarding the services outside/secondary employment policy, does your service allow its uniformed employees, including its protection staff, to undertake fire safety work in a private capacity such as fire risk assessments, fire training and other fire consultancy work outside the boundaries of the service area?

Decision

1. All applications for any secondary work are considered as per service policy. Whilst we take each application on a case-by-case scenario, our consideration with any application to carry out fire safety work, such as fire risk assessments etc. is that there would be a conflict of interest and as such, we would not support a request.
