Fire and rescue services

Fire and Rescue services face similar challenges to those of the police - in terms of the use of ICT to address the demands of greater efficiency and responsiveness. Socitm Consulting, with its expertise in the crucial areas of information governance, technology, efficiency, performance and partnership development, is well placed to assist. It has particular experience of working with the fire and rescue services - one of our consultants previously headed up the Fire Operational Research service for the Home Office, and a group of our consultants have conducted variuous research exercises for fire and rescue services.

ICT strategy and governance
From business strategy to technical infrastructure, we can help with strategy definition, governance, procurement, outsourcing, implementation, training, interim management and service and system reviews. Our experience in best value and benchmarking across the public sector can help you compare performance with peer organisations and assess best practice on a national basis.

 

Partnership development
No public sector organisation is an island these days, but building trust and effective cooperation between partners requires the special skills of impartial facilitators with expertise and time to focus. We have considerable experience of successful partnership development involving the emergency services, local government, social services, health, education and the voluntary and commercial sectors.
