Doing more for Scotland

Transforming for the future The need to transform – changing risk

• SFRS is Scotland’s insurance policy • We will still do what we do today, but must adapt to meet new risks • Continued reduction in fires, but increase in: The need to transform – delivery model

• Delivery model served us well, but designed for risks of 70 years ago • Resources no longer aligned to fire incident profile • Limitations on moving resource to where need is greatest • Crews available at wrong time to conduct vital preventative work • RDS requires a stronger delivery model • Limited use of new technologies ------• More agile enabling services required to support frontline The mandate to transform

• Government financial support in 2018-19 draft budget, confidence and commitment

• Christie and the ongoing requirement for public service reform

• 2016 Fire and Rescue framework

• 2016-19 SFRS Strategic Plan Planned and safe

The future firefighter

• Not proposing a ‘pay increase’ • Proposing new recognition package, in return for transforming Service and role • Will negotiate with firefighters being asked to accept: - new T&Cs linked to significantly wider role and responsibilities - new duty patterns where appropriate, & more flexible working practices - adoption of new technologies • Circa four year programme and recognition deal Failure to transform – real risk

• Rural communities at risk from failure to strengthen RDS • No coherent concept of response to terrorist attack • Unable to extend life-saving emergency medical response • No demand-reduction in health and social care • Limitations on vital prevention, education and intervention role • We have a simple choice … Listen and engage

• Extensive listening exercise with public, staff and stakeholders • Full public consultation coming shortly • Committed to delivering in partnership • Views, ideas and insight will help shape delivery
