Plans, reports and supporting publications
As a local authority we publish information and documents about what we do. These publications range from our Community Risk Management Plan which looks at all the potential risks we may deal with, how we allocate resources, our objectives and strategy, to our Gender Pay Gap Report and Equal Pay Review.
These publications provide information about the work of Kent Fire and Rescue Service, how we are run and how we deliver our services now and in the future. We are here for our customers and encourage you to take a look at these publications and learn more about what do.
