Integrated Risk Management Planning Projects Update

The Service has three significant Integrated Risk Management Planning (IRMP) projects running through this year. IRMP 1 and 2 relate to new shift patterns, being introduced for our Wholetime Firefighters and Fire Control staff, and IRMP 3 relates to the redevelopment of our Telford Central fire station and training complex.

IRMP 1 and 2 aim to reduce our Wholetime staffing costs by up to £400k and to improve efficiency in our Fire Control function by up to £300k, by 2020. Negotiations on the required Collective Agreements are now at an advanced stage, with the representative bodies currently seeking feedback from their members on the two draft documents. If agreement is reached over the coming weeks, then the new shift systems should be in place for January 2017.

In relation to the IRMP 3 project, the Service is exploring all opportunities for joint collaboration with its partners, to ensure the Service secures the greatest public value from the significant investment that will be required for the site. Mindful of the new legal requirement for all blue-light services to collaborate, likely to come into force early next year through the new Police and Crime Bill, Assistant Chief Fire Officer Andy Johnson and Chief Superintendent Charles Hill (West Mercia Police), are exploring all possible opportunities for collaboration between the two services, not only in Telford, but also across the whole of the county.

This work sits as part of the wider facilities review being undertaken by all of the public services across the county, under the umbrella of the Shropshire Estates Partnership. Both services recognise this has introduced some delay into the Telford Central project, but are also mindful that a slight delay in the short-term, will hopefully result in significantly increased benefits to the public in the long-term. Once all options have been fully explored and approved by the two services, then the full requirements specification for the Telford Central development will be known and the project will be able to progress. This should see work start to progress on the project through the first half of 2017, with completion likely to be during 2019.

Members will receive a more detailed report on this collaboration work, and the impact on the Telford Central project timelines, at its December 2016 meeting.

Pension Board Update

The Pension Board has been established as per the report presented to the Fire Authority in February. Two representatives for each side (employer and employee) have agreed to take on the roles and have been advised they are required to attend the national training, which officers understand is currently being scheduled. The Pensions Regulator was advised of the current constitution and membership of the Board by the required deadline.

Following research into the role of the Chair and taking into account the wishes of the Authority expressed in February, the Fire Authority is asked to consider whether it now wishes to nominate a Member to sit on the Pension Board. Any Member, who sits on the Board, will be briefed fully on the conflict of interests between that role and their role as a Member of the Fire Authority, which is the Scheme Manager.

The Fire Authority is asked to consider:

a) whether it wishes to nominate a Member to the Pension Board; and, if so,

b) who that Member should be.

If a Member is nominated to the Board, officers will seek to re-balance the membership to an equal number on each side. This may be done by either removing one current incumbent or running a process to nominate a further representative.
