Our culture
Having introduced our THRIVE behavioural model in April 2021, we are pleased with the way this has been embedded. It continues to underpin our values and culture across the organisation.
Feedback from staff through our annual audit programme gives us encouragement that we are going in the right direction. Our values are understood and modelled at all levels.
The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) launched a Core Code of Ethics for Fire and Rescue Services in late May 2021. Developed in consultation with the fire sector, the Core Code of Ethics is designed to help employees of the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) act in the best way towards each other and whilst serving the public.
Much work continues to be undertaken to ensure our THRIVE model is fully aligned to the national Code of Ethics.
