Our Performance

We are accountable to you, our communities, so we monitor our performance closely and set high standards for ourselves so that we will achieve our vision to have the Safest People and Safest Places. Our performance is scrutinised by the Performance Committee of our Combined Fire Authority and also by external agencies such as Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS).

Our HMICFRS Performance

HMICFRS has a remit to inspect all 45 FRSs in England. The HMICFRS assessment examines the Service’s effectiveness, efficiency and how well it looks after its people. It is designed to give you information about how your local FRS is performing in these three key areas, in a way that is comparable with other FRSs across England. We are judged by HMICFRS and given ratings for each pillar: outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
