Draft London Safety Plan 2010/2013 - Fire Brigades Union London

What we said we would do during 2009/10
12 Review development and training for all staff involved in
Community Safety activities
13 Conduct research to gauge the public’s understanding
of fire prevention, and the actions they would take if a
fire did break out
14 Improve effective partnership development and
maintenance
15 Contribute to local borough priorities expressed in Local
Area Agreements through working in partnership with
others
16 Continue our work to reduce the National Performance
indicators for accidental fires in the home, and arson.
We will do this by actively targeting the people and
places most at risk, and maximising the activities of our
Community Action Team, the Arson Task Force, Fire
Safety inspecting officers and our station staff
17 Explore with partners the possibility of providing one or
two community safety resources across London which
would meet a range of local community needs
18 Develop and expand our programme of community
engagement to make sure that people living and
working in, or visiting London can help to shape our
future services
What we have done so far
Roles defined. Specific training needs under consideration.
Further work on this action is awaiting the outcomes of the Camberwell fire investigation.
A partnership risk assessment tool kit has been developed for Borough Commanders and is being
introduced.
Achieved and monitored through the borough planning process.
Community Safety and Fire Safety Regulation strategies and their supporting action plans, both of which
adopt a targeted approach to risk reduction, are now in place and regularly monitored.
We are continuing with our work to make our own fire stations more accessible to the public and places
where the local community can go to for fire safety advice and information.
There will be a focused online consultation for the London Safety Plan for both external and internal
stakeholders. This consultation will be publicised on the LFB website and through local press work.
