Abstract

The purpose of the L&D report was to identify key drivers and challenges facing the sector. This was achieved in part by using a mixed-methods approach which included the deployment of a sector-wide skills survey and the conduct of seminars, conferences and discussions with stakeholders across the sector. The report supports the alignment of priorities and focuses on prevention, protection, response and also complements other skills and workforce development strategies. This L&D report is an inclusive document that highlights some of the learning and development interventions implemented by the FRS organisations particularly in the last decade. The report also offers horizon scanning on which to base future requirements.
