Background - (NB: this consultation has now closed)

Your voice counts!

Please take five minutes to help us understand the current and emerging fire and rescue risks in Gloucestershire. Your voice will help to keep people, homes, and businesses safe by helping us prepare and resource efficiently and deliver services to you effectively, now and into the future.

We regularly assess our data and risks to the community, and we want your thoughts too. Your feedback will be combined with our own data, our teams knowledge and experience, along with sector insights to build a balanced picture of the risks we face as a Fire and Rescue Service (FRS). This information will help us assess the risks’ impact and likelihood, and where they are most likely to occur.

Your feedback will help inform the Community Risk Profile (CRP) for Gloucestershire. This vital document informs the strategic Community Risk Management Plan (CRMP), the production and publication of which is a regulatory requirement.

Our CRMP sets out how we will continue to keep the communities of Gloucestershire as safe as possible. It sets direction and establishes the resources needed to ensure we can continue working together for a safer Gloucestershire into the future. It will make sure we have the means to establish and maintain the right people, with the right skills, equipment and systems, in the right places at the right times.

In order to make sure that our new CRMP from 2026 onwards reflects your views, we are engaging with you about the risks faced within our county, both now and in the future.

Your opinions and perceptions will support us as we work together for a safer Gloucestershire.

Please take the opportunity to take part in this engagement.
