Skills for justice - developing skills for safer communities

We work in partnership with the UK Fire and Rescue Sector to promote community well being and to deliver skills that build safer communities across the UK.

The United Kingdom (UK) Fire and Rescue sector is made up of an array of talents and vocations spread across the public and private sectors.

The sector operates in a number of different ways throughout the UK. There are currently Fire and Rescue Services operated by 58 Fire and Rescue Authorities (FRAs) established by statute; the Defence Fire Risk Management Service; private and specialist brigades operating around airports, and the nuclear and petroleum industries. Fire and Rescue Services include operational staff, control room staff, managers, specialists, other professionals and other support staff.

In April 2009, the UK Fire sector entered our footprint. We work closely with fire services and key stakeholders to help meet the key challenges that our employers face to enable them to get the right people, with the right skills across the areas of:  

• Prevention
• Protection
• Response
• Resilience
