Fire Standards Workshops
Introduction to Fire Standards Workshop
Join the NFCC Fire Standards team for a practical introduction to Fire Standards and their role in supporting continuous improvement across fire and rescue services. The session will explore what Fire Standards are, and how they can be used to support implementation, assurance, and organisational improvement.
During the workshop, we’ll cover:
- The purpose of Fire Standards and the role of the Fire Standards Board.
- The key components of a Fire Standard, including the Desired Outcome, Must, Should and May statements, and Expected Benefits.
- How Fire Standards support organisational assurance, planning, and inspection readiness.
- Practical approaches to implementation and embedding standards within your service.

This workshop is for anyone looking to improve their understanding of Fire Standards. Whether you’re new to your role, new to the fire and rescue sector, or simply looking to build your knowledge of how standards can support improvement and assurance, this session will provide a practical introduction.

Focused Fire Standards Workshops
Our Focused Fire Standard Workshops provide an opportunity for colleagues across the fire and rescue sector to come together and explore an individual Fire Standard in greater detail.
These interactive, discussion-led sessions focus on the practical application of a specific standard, giving attendees the opportunity to share experiences, learning, challenges, and good practice from their own service. Together, participants are actively encouraged to discuss approaches to achieving the standard’s desired outcomes and learn from others across the sector.
While the workshops will touch on assurance and continuous improvement, the primary focus is on collaboration, peer learning, and sharing practical insights to support implementation.

08 December – 10:00-11:30 – Protection
