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 4-year changes as we progress forward.
This 4-year service plan will allow us to embed the new format introduced as part of our CRMP 2024-28, centred around our strategic plan, which sees us continuing to shape the future of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue (LFR) up to 2028.
Our Purpose; 'Working together to keep communities safer' (Why we are here) has allowed us to remain laser focused on the communities we serve. Having developed our purpose, we are committed to continually reviewing the impact we have on our communities, taking time to refine and amend as required.
We have explored our DNA (How we do what we do / Who we are). We have created 4 pillars under which we have placed 4-year statements that if we commit to, will make the communities we serve safer.
Below this Purpose sits the 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 undertaken, we have developed a 4-year strategic plan and 16 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 2025-26. It will break down the 16 priorities and enable us to focus our work for that year.
The priorities will sit in department plans and PDRs, to ensure everyone understand exactly how they 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 PDRs (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.
