South East Fire & Rescue Services Regional Management Board Equalities Review Update 10 th October 2007

New equality duties 6 equality strands General Duty Specific Duty Equality Scheme BVPI 2b Equality Standard for Local Government BVPI 2a What does this mean? A note by way of revision!

The project will… deliver an agreed individual equality improvement plan for each of the nine Fire and Rescue Services in the partnership. provide a detailed diagnostic report for consolidating progress as against the Equality Standard for Local Government. set out the steps each Fire and Rescue Service needs to take to achieve level 3 of the Equality Standard for Local Government. start in June 2007 and be completed by March 2008.

What’s involved? Individual scoping for each F&RS Desk top review of corporate & equality documents On site interviews with senior officers, middle managers, front line staff, members, stakeholders / community group, staff groups / representatives. Diagnostic report as against requirements of the Equality Standard On site reporting back – Senior Officers (Members?) On site action planning – Achieving Level 3

Progress to date: PHASE 1 - Scoping meetings completed for all 9 F&RS PHASE 2 - Desk top review & on site assessments completed for Hampshire & Kent – September Reports / on site reporting scheduled – Nov / Dec PHASE desk top reviews scheduled for October 5 on site assessments scheduled for November 5 Reports / on site reporting scheduled – Dec 2007/ Jan 2008 PHASE desk top reviews scheduled for Dec 2007 / Jan on site assessments scheduled for Jan Reports / on site reporting scheduled – Feb / Mar 2008

Preliminary observations Engagement / co-operation with project very positive. All F&RSs able to demonstrate some level of commitment & understanding of the E & D agenda, albeit level variable. All F&RS have Officer (or Officers) with designated responsibility for progressing E & D work – Grade of Officer varies. Responsibility for E & D - Focus appears to be with HR despite E&D duties extending to service delivery and customer care.

Cont… Some F&RSs deem E&D as a corporate priority, some regard E&D as a value or ‘cross cutting theme’. F&RSs located within a County structure – appears to be disparity in relationship between the F&RS & the County on E&D matters. External assessment at level 3 will include both the County & the F&RS where they are part of the same county structure.

Cont… There appear to be variable levels of understanding about this project and its objectives – Officers at all levels need to be better briefed and given a basic understanding about the Equality Standard; CPA Key lines of enquiry, etc. as well as the issues which will be considered during the on-site assessment visit. Self assessment as against progress in E&D work – not all F&RSs are able to provide a clear current statement of what progress, if any, they have made in respect of progressing their statutory duty in respect of the 6 equality strands.

Points you may wish to consider Is E&D given the right profile in your organisation? Is responsibility located with those who have the authority and ability to make the progress? Is your E&D work managed through your PM system – do you know where your organisations strengths / weaknesses are? How will you share best practice – regionally / nationally? Is there opportunity to develop capacity, e.g. Impact Assessments, Performance Management
