Independent support for services working through risk, resources and change.
I work across response, prevention and protection, supporting senior leaders, analysts and functional leads with the evidence, assurance and analysis behind important decisions. My role ranges from strategic advice to detailed analysis, often bridging the two, and is typically collaborative and iterative, helping to challenge, refine and strengthen existing approaches.
Assurance and Independent Review
Independent review where decisions need to be robust and appropriate
I provide independent challenge and assurance for work that needs to stand up to scrutiny. That might include reviewing a fire cover proposal, sense-checking a risk model, testing assumptions in an analytical approach, or acting as a critical friend as a service works through a complex decision.
How I can help:
Reviewing existing models, proposals or evidence bases
Testing assumptions and highlighting strengths, limitations and risks
Supporting services with assurance around fire cover, strategic risk and service change
Providing constructive challenge that is practical as well as analytical
Risk, Strategy and Decision Support
Connecting risk, evidence and strategy to support better decisions
I support fire services with strategic work that depends on a clear understanding of risk and evidence. This can include CRMP-related work, strategic risk assessments, prevention and protection priorities, and helping services connect analysis more clearly to decisions.
How I can help:
Supporting strategic planning and reviewing risk approaches
Helping shape options and assess trade-offs
Translating analysis into clear, usable evidence for leaders and stakeholders
Working across response, prevention and protection rather than in isolated silos.
Analysis and Model Development
Practical analysis and transparent models to support decision-making
Where needed, I can help services build or refine analysis that is proportionate, transparent and useful in practice. That includes local risk profiling, prevention and protection analysis, resource and response modelling, and simple tools that support better decision-making.
How I can help:
Risk profiling using incident, demographic and premises data
Support for RBIPs, RBITs and related approaches
Analysis of appliance locations, response patterns, crewing or on-call availability
Building or adapting transparent models that services can understand and use themselves
