CULTURAL REVIEW

The requirement is to carry out a comprehensive cultural review of the Service. The review will result in an evidenced based report with recommendations to the Chief Fire Officer which will then be shared with the Fire Authority, the Trade Unions and employees.

The review should seek to respond to the areas below:

To undertake an independent root and branch review of the organisation including the Fire Authority, the Service, personnel and Trade Unions to assess the culture and relationships and the impact they have on the successful operation of the Service, along with the health and wellbeing of employees within the existing culture

To identify areas of good practice and further considerations that can be made to support effective and functional relations between all parties in the future.

To identify future cultural challenges within West Midlands Fire Service to ensure the best possible position to deliver for the communities of the West Midlands.
