On Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 November, fire authority officials, key stakeholders from local and central government and their partners will be converging at the Crieff Hydro Hotel, Sctoland for a two day event to share perspectives and debate the key challenges facing the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

As well as gaining a clearer perspective of your organisation’s expectations / demands of the Fire and Rescue Service, the audience will be trying to gain a better understanding of the likely difficulties and challenges which they may experience in the coming years. For example:-

Shaping a service fit for the 21st century;

National agendas -v- local priorities;

Wider responsibilities, same levels of funding;

The pivotal role of partnership working;

Scotland's emergency preparedness;

Governance and Scrutiny – the role of elected members;

The Fire and Rescue Service's role in community planning and engagement
