3 3 Foreword Huw Jakeway Chief Fire Officer South Wales Fire and Rescue Service Cllr Tudor Davies Chairman South Wales Fire and Rescue Authority It gives us great pleasure to present our Strategic Plan for This year we have developed a single strategic plan, one that incorporates the longer-term community and organisational challenges, with short-term Service improvements required to support and complement our longer-term objectives. Our vision remains our key focus; making South Wales safer by reducing risk and we will continue to strive for this despite significant financial challenges. We recognise that safer communities can only be achieved by challenging and improving the way we work, through a safe and competent workforce and by effectively managing our resources. At times of austerity, there is a temptation to concentrate on costs and reduced budgets with no regard to the quality of services delivered. However, as a Senior Management Team and Fire & Rescue Authority we have made the decision to concentrate on how we can improve the way we work with the strongly held belief that efficiencies and savings will be made as a result. We have recently completed our first Fire Cover Review, to ensure our resources are correctly located according to the risk within our communities. As a Fire & Rescue Authority we have had to make very difficult decisions and we are well aware we have more to make. Our decisions rely on clear and robust evidence, with the safety of our communities and firefighters at the forefront of our mind. Challenging times requires challenging ouselves and through our Shaping our Future programme, we intend to challenge the way we currently deliver our services to ensure South Wales Fire and Rescue Service is a sustainable Service that continues to reflect the needs of our communities. The programme will look at every aspect of our service by challenging what we do, how we do it and the difference it makes.
4 4 Introduction Welcome to our Strategic Plan, this plan outlines our strategic direction for the next five years from 2015 to 2020 and how we intend to meet the challenges over this time period in order to continue to deliver a high quality service and meet the needs of our communities. This plan acknowledges, and is based on a clear understanding of the challenges we face. We are confident our long-term strategic objectives will enable South Wales Fire and Rescue Service to deliver a sustainable service. This year we have revised our planning framework to bring together two distinct but complementary pieces of Welsh Government legislation. Firstly, the Fire and Rescue National Framework requires each Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA) to publish a strategic plan setting out its medium to longterm strategic goals. Also as an improvement authority under the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009 we are required to set, consult and report against annual improvement objectives. By taking this approach our annual improvement objectives will focus on supporting the delivery of our long-term strategic aims. Furthermore this plan has paid due cognisance to the six priorities set out in the Fire and Rescue National Framework 2012 Onwards in developing our strategic objectives. Fire and Rescue National Framework 2012 Onwards March 2012 Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009 Part 1 Guidance to Fire and Rescue Authorities May 2010 MAKING SOUTH WALES SAFER BY REDUCING RISK
5 5 Our Vision, Mission and Core Values Our Vision To make South Wales safer by reducing risk. This is what we do Our Mission This is how we do it S W F R S erving our communities needs orking with others acing challenges through innovation and improvement educing risk through education, enforcement and response ucceeding in making South Wales safer Our Values This is what it means to work for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service Professional Caring Respectful Dedicated Trustworthy Dynamic Disciplined Resilient
6 6 Our Planning Process Planning for the future requires analysing and making sense of key information such as current performance against previous plans, community needs and collaborative opportunities. To inform our decision making we have undertaken an internal and external analysis using current local and national information such as the *Programme for Government, *Facing the Futures and the * Williams Commission on Public Service Governance and Delivery. This analysis has enabled us to challenge ourselves and examine our strengths and weaknesses, whilst exploring potential opportunities and threats. STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK External Analysis OPPORTUNITES & THREATS COMMUNITY NEEDS COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS STRATEGIC PLANNING FRAMEWORK VISION OBJECTIVES ACTIONS OUTCOMES MAKING SOUTH WALES SAFER BY REDUCING RISK INternal Analysis strengths & WEAKNESSES CURRENT STRATEGY CURRENT PERFORMANCE This plan will be reviewed annually identifying improvement objectives that will support our long-term strategic objectives and help drive sustainable Service improvements. *Public Service Governance and Delivery (2014), Programme for Government (2011), Facing the Future, Findings from the MAKING SOUTH WALES SAFER BY REDUCING RISK review of efficiences and operations in the fire and rescue authorities in England (2013).
7 7 Our Budget As for all public service organisations the Fire and Rescue Service is not immune to the ongoing financial pressures. However, through our financial planning arrangements we continue to balance service delivery against community need whilst seeking continual improvement opportunities. Our medium-term financial plan enables a measured and timely approach to addressing current funding challenges and is the foundation for our longterm planning assumptions. We have made long-term financial predictions, which direct our strategic planning objectives, with a potential budget deficit of between 8.8m and 20m.

8 8 Our Strategic Objectives From our strategic planning framework we have identified five strategic objectives, which we believe will enable us to achieve our vision of making South Wales safer by reducing risk. Four of the objectives directly support the delivery of the first and primary strategic objective of reducing risk within our communities, which continues to be our corporate vision. 2. Engage and consult with our staff, communities & stakeholders to jointly shape our future services Align our resources to ensure they are fit for purpose and sustainable for the future Make use of technological advances to meet service improvements and requirements Explore partnership and collaborative opportunities to improve outcomes 1. reducing risk in our communities MAKING SOUTH WALES SAFER BY REDUCING RISK
9 9 Our Annual Improvement Objectives 2015/16 In order to comply with the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2009 and in support of our long-term strategic aims; we are required to set annual improvement objectives. Our improvement objectives will focus on key areas of the service that through improvement will support our longer-term strategic objectives. For year 2015/16 we have set two improvement objectives: reduce deliberate fire setting Deliberate fires continue to account for a large percentage of all fires we attend (72%) and as such have been a key focus of our preventative work. This is the third year of a five year aspirational goal we set ourselves; to reduce deliberate fires by 41% in five years (using 2010/11 baseline results). We recognise that deliberate fires are totally avoidable and place considerable pressure on our resources; we therefore believe that reducing deliberate fires will contribute to our strategic objective of reducing risk in our communities. Identify opportunities to improve and ensure the future sustainability of the Service. We continue to challenge ourselves to seek continuous improvement none more so than during our recent Fire Cover Review (FCR) project. We reviewed the location of our front-line resources to ensure they were in the correct location according to the risk within our communities. Our goal is to ensure the services we provide our communities are fit for purpose, balanced against risk, provide value for money to tax payers and remain sustainable. This aim has led to the Shaping our Future programme, which continues to challenge the Service by reviewing not just the services we provide, but also how we deliver them. We believe that by challenging ourselves and scrutinising why we do what we do, and the way in which we do it, we can improve our services, whilst delivering efficiencies. Therefore our second annual improvement objective will focus on our Shaping our Future programme and continuous improvement initiatives, which supports all five strategic objectives. our
10 10 How will we measure performance? The Senior Management Team (SMT) is responsible for developing the Service s Strategic Plan. The high level strategic objectives provide Service directorates and departments with a clear direction to develop their own tactical plans. These tactical plans will include more detail on what and how they support and deliver the strategic objectives. TARGET The tactical level plans will also include measures and targets aligned to the strategic objectives, which form part of the performance management system that underpins the process. Our view of performance management is based on the premise that our main focus is improving outcomes for our communities. Therefore to measure, monitor and report on performance means improving outcomes and what difference we make to our communities rather that focusing on activity and cost. We strongly believe that having the right resources and skills in the right place at the right time, using the most effective and efficient delivery methods and through good financial management we will successfully deliver our primary outcome of reducing risk in our communities. PLAN It is our people that actually deliver our services and who also improve them. To ensure our staff are equipped with the appropriate skills, knowledge and development opportunities, our Personal Appraisal Reviews enable the Service to align our people with our strategic aims. MAKING SOUTH WALES SAFER BY REDUCING RISK
11 11 How we will achieve our Strategic Objectives 1. reduce risk in our communities What does this mean? Making South Wales safer by reducing risk is our primary aim as your Fire and Rescue Service. We do this through our education, prevention, protection and response services.

12 12 How we will achieve our Strategic Objectives 2. Engage and consult with our staff, communities & stakeholders to jointly shape our future services What does this mean? As our role within society changes and public expectations on the Fire and Rescue Service increases we recognise that the delivery of public services has to change. Our staff are essential to the delivery of our Service, their commitment to and involvement in making our communities safe is the foundation on which we build our Service. In addition to this we recognise the need for a team South Wales approach and therefore the importance of engaging, consulting and involving all stakeholders to jointly shape our future services.
