Evaluation framework
The challenge
Within a difficult financial climate, it is a challenge to deliver a service that is:
- effective
- innovative
- efficient
To meet this challenge, we remain committed to continual improvement, whilst delivering value for money. To achieve this, we must constantly evaluate our activities across all areas. This allows us to understand what works and what can be improved.
In the operational context, this means:
- identifying learning from incidents
- sharing this learning across the organisation and with the wider UK fire and rescue services
To provide a measured and informed approach to the purchase of new resources, we will:
- use historical data sets
- use continual risk analysis
- evaluate existing provision
This ensures we have the right distribution of equipment across the county to:
- manage the local risk
- continue to provide the communities of Lincolnshire with the best possible service
Our ambitions
To meet the challenge, we have set the following ambitions:
- we aim to improve our analysis of data to become more effective and efficient
- we aim to ensure our community has a clear understanding of our performance
- we aim to develop a learning organisation
- we aim to ensure our measures are aligned to the outcomes the public expects from their fire and rescue service
- we aim to ensure we have data-driven methodology which allows the service to:
- remain agile over the life of the IRMP
- react to emerging risks to our delivery models
- we aim to support continuous improvement throughout the organisation
