#335 Tackling Misconduct & Unacceptable Behaviour within UK Fire & Rescue with Roy Wilsher of HMICFRS
Today we welcome back Roy Wilsher from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
During our conversation we discussed fire and rescue services in England, focusing on the handling of misconduct, the impact of toxic cultures and the importance of encouraging difficult conversations in the workplace.
Roy highlighted the need to address ongoing distrust in misconduct processes and the underrepresentation of women and minority groups in the fire service. We also explored capacity issues faced by services, the need for a College of Fire and for collaboration to create positive changes across the sector.
