Prevention Committee
The NFCC Prevention Committee leads and directly working closely with NFCC teams, partners and stakeholders to deliver NFCC’s strategic objectives, through the Prevention and Safeguarding activity in creating safer and healthier communities.
NFCC Prevention Committee bring together knowledgeable and experienced subject matter experts from across the fire and rescue service. They provide leadership, oversight and professional expertise, helping to identify emerging issues, monitor progress and support delivery of national priorities. Prevention Committee terms of reference can be found here.
NFCC’s Prevention Committee adopted the following definition:
NFCC Committees are select groups of interested and knowledgeable subject matter experts (SMEs). They are appointed to consider, explore, take action or report on matters relating to their topic. They are a pool of knowledge and experience. They monitor on-going activity, identify issues for review, and recommend actions.
The Prevention Committee provides scrutiny directly to the NFCC Prevention Hub – who are responsible in providing national leadership and practical support to Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) and partners to reduce preventable harm and make communities safer, through its prevention and safeguarding workstreams.
