Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations What we are trying to achieve Management restructure to realise efficiencies Changes to crewing the Penrith Regular appliance (Mon-Fri), using a different delivery model but delivering the same response service (Penrith staff in scope as posts ‘at risk’. New delivery model to be consulted upon separately) – to realise efficiencies

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. “The present situation seems to deliver many of the things we, as a local authority service, would want……there are areas where things could be enhanced like improved working at strategy level and a more robust Fire Safety and prevention programme” - Fire Reform Team, SM in Prevention and Protection

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. Concern over WMs not supporting SMs in Service Delivery: –Additional SMs in Service Delivery. –Regular Stations managed on day to day basis by ECWMs. –Station Manager B responsible for 4 RDS units (down from 7). –Additional WMA support to Command Areas (new). –Additional WMAs across the Service to support Training Teams. –New Reform / Performance Team to support performance management information flows.

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. RDS Training Team concerns – New Day Duty System Policy to support on-call station training. 25 WMs across CFRS to support Training Team concept. RDS management / availability concerns – SM Reform to drive forward RDS reform programme Pay Protection arrangements – 15% for substantive ECWMs protected. Anticipate that there will be sufficient WMB roles in the new structure to accommodate all existing substantive WMBs

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. Vacant Volunteer Coordinator Post – delete and use funds to increase community safety delivery capacity in Command Areas. Post to be deleted and funds reallocated to Community Safety Team Structure – need for more resource in Command Areas. New post of WMA in Command Areas (removal of some Associate Trainer Budget to facilitate) Structure – role of ‘training WMs’ To remain in OTD but to be allocated to Command Areas for supporting training delivery. Reduced from 8 to 6.

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. Structure – WMAs should be WMBs. Reviewed a number of roles and increased number of WMBs to reflect feedback. Structure – ideas around 2 SMs in OTD and deletion of WM post. Reshaped OTD to support other service delivery changes. No reduction in managers, overall net increase in 1 FTE manager from original proposal. Structure – WMBs running fire stations should be SMAs. WMBs managing a station of 20 FTE with 4 CMs to support is realistic. SMs in Command Areas are always available to support, as is the Command GMB.

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. Role Profiles – workshop set up to talk through RPs and incorporated some suggested changes Operational Rotas - Progress made and further meetings to finalise. Fundamentals of FDS rota doesn’t change Job sizing / request to size all jobs from CM upwards – Due to FBU feedback Service meeting with People Management to consider a robust process of job sizing of WMs to GMs if required (shift based CMs not affected by reshaping)

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. Further savings to be made from revised duty systems (Kendal model). Need a ‘sea change’ in working patterns to free up resource – New reform team to look at IRMP and revised duty systems, including 8hr/12hr shifts and Kendal model elsewhere. Potential commissioning work to look at wholesale Service review. Do we need WMs in training? The CMs on shifts have as much responsibility, if not more – WMAs in training to support command areas and assessment of competence. CMs on shifts will be supported by a dedicated ECWM. Ongoing reduction of WMs working the on-call duty system (review to be carried out by SM Reform)

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. WMB at Penrith looking after the station, plus the RDS and having the reference of Operational Resources, Recruitment and Fitness is too much – Changes made to references to reflect feedback. Consider Day Duty GM and SM - difficult to achieve due to ECWM being higher paid than Day Duty SMB and FDS SMB being on more than Day Duty GMB. Service will always consider requests for Day Duty working in line with council policy. ECWM rota continues to be subject to ongoing review.

Serving the people of Cumbria Do not use fonts other than Arial for your presentations Feedback – You said, we did…….. SMBs should have responsibility for Regular Stations – The day to day running of Regular Stations will be facilitated through the ECWMs. Each Command Area has a number of SMBs that can support the ECWMs if required, under the direction of the GMB Operational Commander Increase number of ECWMs from 8 to 15 and have 3 rotas for resilience – Service operational response model designed to meet risks within IRMP does not require the additional numbers. As always, subject to ongoing review of risk and demand.
