Professional Development

Fire Control staff are currently supported through a range of development schemes, IPDS and established training courses for professional development and career progression. This is developed by in-house FRS departments and specialist external contractors. The courses are delivered to mixed groups from all areas of the FRS in order to benefit from the knowledge and experiences of a diverse workforce. In line with the “twin-track” approach CSNC call for negotiations to begin with any future employer, alongside negotiations on contractual matters, to make arrangements with a host FRS to provide career development courses and professional support for Fire Control personnel. The outcome of these negotiations to be reported to the Executive Council member for Control.
