Merseyside Fire & Rescue Authority Consultation

Welcome to the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service Consultation homepage. As an organisation we have always been committed to consultation with our stakeholders and we invest a great deal of public resource into our processes and procedures.

Indeed our consultation commitments are so extensive that we have recently established a Consultation Unit to provide open and transparent consultation with its staff, representative bodies and the public.

We believe that it is important that we are accountable for how the Fire and Rescue Service is providing protection to the people of Merseyside and how it is spending public money.

One of the key stakeholders are our unions and we provide very extensive support to achieve consultation with all trade unions.  We have also agreed a Joint Consultation Protocol which commits MF&RS to act proactively in providing interested parties with information on its plans and future activities.

This section of our website will enable anyone with access to the internet ( employees, members of the public and any other interested bodies) to track the progression on consultation issues.Letters, key documents and other records relating to matters under consultation are accessible by clicking here.

In addition to those matters which are the subject of formal consultation we are also involved in continuous dialogue with partners and stakeholders over a range of issues relevant to the delivery of a high quality public service.Letters, key documents and other records relating to this dialogue are accessible by clicking here. This section of the website includes such topics as the business of the Joint Secretaries, Disputes & Collective Grievances and the Health & Safety Committee.
