RESOLVED:
 

1.   
That Cabinet approves the CRMP for 2025-2030,
ensuring that SFRS can begin implementing the service-wide strategy
from April 2025 in a staged approach.
Reasons for decisions:
 

SFRS has consulted
both its staff and the public on the seven CRMP proposals, details
of which were shared with them via a thorough communications and
engagement campaign.
The plans set out how
the service will prevent, protect and respond to emergencies during
2025-2030, aligning resources to the right locations, ensuring
vital equipment is appropriate and effective, and supporting the
wider health and wellbeing agenda.
The feedback gained
during this consultation has shown that there is a majority
positive ‘approval rating’ for the six proposals
requiring an agreement/disagreement level, ranging between 62% to
76%. The analysis report (annex 3) was created by Surrey
County Council’s (SCC) Research Intelligence Unit (RIU)
following the consultation period.
An audit of
SFRS’s CRP (annex 2) has been conducted by Nottingham
Trent University (NTU) to ensure accuracy and robustness. NTU are
leaders in public research who led on the National Fire Chiefs
Council’s (NFCC) National Risk Methodologies, reviewed the
data and evidence used to develop the CRMP’s strategic aims
and proposals. They confirmed that “…Surrey FRS has
undertaken a robust process to develop the CRMP for
Surrey”.
