We asked for views on our draft Strategic Plan 2022-25. We asked people what they thought about our set of seven proposed priorities, and invited them to share any general views they had about the draft Strategic Plan as a whole.
You Said
The public consultation exercise generated a total of 132 survey responses through the online survey. The majority of respondents either Strongly Agreed, or Agreed with all of the Outcomes in the draft Strategic Plan. The figures were 51.1% and 34.4% respectively, giving a total of 85.5% of all respondents supporting the draft Strategic Plan.
Respondents were given the opportunity to provide further feedback on each of our Outcomes. They were also asked if they wished to make any general comments, allowing them to give more expansive answers on issues they felt were of importance, and which were perhaps not covered sufficiently in the seven Outcomes.
These free text responses were examined and the most common themes identified. This was done through careful textual analysis and by applying a simple coding frame. The following key themes were raised:
The free-text comments included in the report, both positive and constructive in nature, were considered closely.
In most circumstances, suggested changes to be made to the Plan, because of comments from respondents, were minor text changes to strengthen or clarify a point that has already been made within the draft Strategic Plan 2022-25. Examples of this include:
Each of the above suggestions were included in the final version of the Strategic Plan 2022-25 that was published in October 2022.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) invites you to share your views on our draft Strategic Plan 2022-25. Our Strategic Plan details the activities we want to achieve to contribute to the safety and wellbeing of Scottish communities, whilst keeping our firefighters safe.
The seven Outcomes set out within our Plan complement the priorities in the Fire and Rescue Framework for Scotland 2022. The Fire and Rescue Framework is developed by the Scottish Government and our Strategic Plan has been designed to show how we will deliver against it.
We also have an aspirational Long-Term Vision which was shaped by our staff and stakeholders. It sets out our future direction and outlines where we want to be in ten years’ time. The Strategic Plan 2022-25 outlines the next stage in that journey.
Your opinion matters. This is your Service and we want to hear your views on our ambition to balance national priorities with the needs of local communities – now and in the future.
The consultation closes at midnight on Sunday 10 July 2022.
