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

AND
Ponies Help PTSD Flakey What ?
We rescue ponies who have experienced abuse and/or neglect. We nurture them to physical and emotional health by providing a calm, safe, secure environment where the ponies experience love, happiness and predictable routines. Our training with them increases their ability to connect and trust in human relationships without fear or anxiety. Before
After After
Before Our new recruits After
Before What and Why?
We provide a safe haven for all people to engage with our ponies, specialising in families with disadvantaged children and young people. Clients build resilience through mindful interaction and emotional connection; learn to trust and build relationships; cultivate positive physical and mental health; promoting general wellbeing; whilst promoting social inclusion. What Happens
We currently have 4 x 1 hour sessions running simultaneously morning and evening. We currently have 3 full time handlers & 8 volunteers
We are flexible to the client abilities and needs and start by introducing them to the ponies, then talking to the ponies, building up to grooming them. Then, if able, we walk the pony.
