The Service
Audit and assessment...
Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) for Fire and Rescue Authorities was introduced in 2005 when each authority was given a corporate assessment rating of either excellent, good, fair, weak or poor. Inspectors looked at issues like staff training, budget management and the way the Service worked within the community to make it safer and prevent fires from happening in the first place. Additional elements give an overall assessment of services, including how the Authority performs operationally.
Fire Comprehensive Performance Assessment results were published in July 2005:
Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority obtained a rating of 'Good' in the Comprehensive Performance Assessment regime.
Comprehensive Performance Assessment is an assessment, at the corporate level, of how well the Authority is being run. It does not give an opinion about how well the fire service responds to emergency.
The assessments in 2006-2008 were still on the lines of Comprehensive Performance Assessment, but called the Fire and Rescue Performance Assessment. We produced bulletins which explained the assessments in more detail:-
