Overview
We are committed to horizon scanning and ensuring Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue is agile, flexible and fit for a longer-term future. The work carried out looks forward to 2035 recognising that we will see a number of changes as we progress forward.
This year our service plan will adopt a new format based on the development of our new strategic plan, which sees us shaping the future of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) up to 2028.
We have developed our Purpose of Working together to keep communities safer (Why we are here) so that we can remain laser focused on the communities we serve. We have taken our time refining this Purpose, so it encompasses all that we do.
We have explored our DNA (How we do what we do, Who we are). We have created 4 pillars under which we have placed a number of statements that if we commit to, will make the communities we serve safer.
Below this purpose sits the new Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP). This is a 4 year plan and our commitment to the public.
The plan is written based on extensive research and engagement with our communities. We asked the public for their perception of risk and with the feedback we received and the risk modelling we undertook, we have developed a 4 year strategic plan and 15 priorities which we will focus on.
These priorities will be a focus for teams across the organisation, not only in year one, but in some cases across the life cycle of the CRMP.
Each year, we will create a service plan, which will focus on the year ahead. This is the service plan for 2024-25. It will break down the 15 priorities and enable us to focus our work for that year.
The priorities will sit in your department plans and PDRs, to ensure you understand exactly how you contribute on a daily basis to our purpose.
We are all responsible for ensuring we continue to strive towards our purpose. Progress will be monitored in your PDR (Line manager), department meetings (Department heads), service delivery Board (Middle managers) and finally performance management board (SLT).
Your role in the success of us all achieving our Purpose cannot be underestimated. You can make our communities safer.
