Share knowledge and learning

A key function of NFCC is facilitating the sharing of knowledge and learning across the sector and with relevant public and partner bodies to support the sector in continually improving. This thread is woven through organisational learning that focuses on capturing and analysing lessons from fire and rescue services to enhance the capabilities and knowledge of fire service professionals, to the development of guidance that supports the development of fire related national policies and learning materials that help services implement National Operational Guidance, improve firefighter safety and centralise development of training.

Organisational Learning

Organisational learning is a process of considering the widest possible evidence base to identify notable practice and highlight where improvement or change is needed at a national (NFCC) or local (FRS) level.

Positive Practice Portal

The Positive Practice Portal can be used by fire and rescue services who are interested in interventions that support communities, colleagues and partners in keeping everyone safe and secure.

Academic Collaboration and Research Group

The Academic Collaboration, Evaluation and Research Group (ACER) is an independent forum, convened by NFCC, to help coordinate and maximise the benefits of academic research with relevance for fire and rescue services (FRS), to contribute to improved public and firefighter safety.

Learning Materials

NFCC has developed a series of training materials to help services implement National Operational Guidance, improve firefighter safety and centralise development of training to reduce the impact upon services.
