Our plans, policies and performance
All the actions that Kent Fire & Rescue
Service (KFRS) undertake are focused on the delivery of Kent &
Medway Fire & Rescue Authority’s (KMFRA) aim and objectives, which are underpinned by
a number of plans and policies.
How does the Authority develop its plans?
The first stage in developing the Authority's plan is to
consider the long term aim & objectives and the priorities for
the coming three years. Once these have been assessed and
agreed by Members, proposals for changes to the Service are drawn
up and consulted upon with staff, members of the public, businesses
and community groups. This process is conducted alongside the
development of the Integrated Risk Management
Plan (IRMP) and the Medium Term
Financial Plan.
The outcomes of the IRMP, once agreed by Members are then fed
into the Service
Performance Plan (SPP). Other strategic plans such as the
Medium Term Financial Plan, Asset Management
Plan, Information
Management Strategy, Equality & Diversity Scheme and Health
& Safety Framework support and underpin the
SPP
.
The
SPP
is the
Authority’s corporate plan, detailing performance over the previous
year, targets for the coming year and an improvement action plan
explaining how we intend to achieve these targets. The information
in the
SPP
is updated
regularly through the course of the year. It also incorporates the
Community Safety Strategy.
Further details on how the Authority plans and manages
performance can be found in the Performance
Management Framework.
Performance information
The Service regularly monitors performance against the Service
Peformance Plan and reports this to the Planning and Performance
Committee. The Performance Information provided as part of the
SPP
is regularly
updated to show how we are performing against our targets.
