Achievements since our last risk management plan

Achievements since our last risk management plan

We have made considerable productivity improvements over the course of our last Integrated Risk Management Plan (IRMP), delivering record levels of prevention and protection activities, alongside more community engagement. This work is central to making our communities safer and stronger.

We have engaged and worked with local authorities and others to make sure the buildings people live and work in comply with fire safety legislation. Over our last IRMP, we have served prohibition notices on buildings that did not meet fire regulations. We only do this when absolutely necessary, and there are significant fire safety concerns.

You can find an update of our IRMP achievements on page 62.

This new plan includes strategic goals that will help us continue to improve community safety and societal resilience.

We will continue to strengthen our community engagement programme over the life of this plan, working more collaboratively with partners to deliver efficient and joined up services.

Engagement

Throughout the development of this plan, we have engaged with our people, partners and public. We have held extensive engagement workshops, we have engaged with 6,000 people across Essex through our public perception survey to understand what matters to them, and we have listened carefully to the views of our people, our public and our partners through the CRMP consultation survey.

We have considered risk, demand and vulnerability and there are a number of actions we will take between 2025 and 2030 to build on the successes of our previous plan and help us continue to increase our resources. This will mean we can respond more effectively to incidents, protect our public, visitors, and our firefighters, and reduce fires and other incidents.

All the feedback from our people, public and partners has been considered, and this plan reflects and incorporates this. Further information about this CRMP, our full analysis and methodology, and our consultation activities are our website.
