The Consultation – now closed
The Leadership and People Fire Standards have been developed with expert input from leaders and HR specialists across Fire and Rescue Services in England and the NFCC People Programme. Both the Leading the Service and Leading and Developing People Fire Standards have been developed to bring clarity about leadership roles and to establish expectations of leaders in leading their service and their people.

Considerations and Notes
Hyperlinks to places within this draft Fire Standard, or to other sections of guidance may not currently function; this will be addressed at point of publication.
This Fire Standard reflects only the most appropriate legislation to this topic. We recognise that fire and rescue services must comply with a broader list of legislation to undertake their duties, which would be applicable to all standards. The legislation which applies to all standards can be found on the Fire Standards Board website.
Any illustrations are not currently in high-definition, to allow for email limitations; this will be addressed at point of publication.
