Performance

Our performance

We publish our performance reports every six months (a mid-year report in December, covering the period 1 April to 30 September; and an end-of-year report in June, covering the period 1^st April to 31^st March). These reports are taken to the Fire Authority, are available through the agenda and minutes for these meetings, and focus on various critical areas, including and beyond our operational activity.

For example, we report on our response standard performance, availability, prevention and protection performance, sickness absence, policy and planning performance, and a number of other crucial areas.
