Establishment of an Advisory Panel following Culture Review and appointment of an Independent Chair

In March 2021, the London Fire Commissioner initiated an independent review of LFB’s culture. The review was led by Nazir Afzal and reported in November 2022. The review gave a diagnosis of institutional racism and misogyny, and poor treatment of neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ colleagues, supported by evidence of poor and unfair treatment of marginalised groups across the brigade. The review made 23 recommendations which have been accepted by LFB.

Assessment of Risk 2023

The Assessment of Risk (AoR) for London is the Brigade’s current understanding of the risks affecting the capital to which London Fire Brigade could be expected to respond. This assessment is used to inform the London Fire Commissioner’s plans for reducing risk in London, as set out in the Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP). When the CRMP was approved, the LFC committed to an annual review of the AoR and this report presents the Assessment of Risk 2023.

London Fire Brigade 2023-2026 Training Plan

The London Fire Commissioner proposes to move to a three-year training plan in order to extend its training planning horizon, and by so doing build in additional flexibility for both the Brigade and its staff. The longer-term approach facilitates a focus on increasing and maintaining skills levels, whilst also allowing officers to adapt to changes in demand more intelligently.

Agreed Commissioner decision

Agreed Commissioner decision

Prevention and Protection Establishment increase - Building Safety Regulator

There are two elements to the proposals made in this paper. The first is the role of LFB in providing assistance to the new Building Safety Regulator (BSR) as required by the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA). The recruitment of additional staff to service the request by the BSR for assistance is considered to have a number of benefits to improvement of fire safety coverage in London’s built environment.
