In August 2020, we were commissioned by the then Home Secretary to review what progress the London Fire Brigade had made against the recommendations in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 1 report. This resulted in our February 2021 report, Inspection of the London Fire Brigade’s progress to implement the recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s Phase 1 report.

This letter provides our general assessment of the progress made by 25 of England’s 44 Fire and Rescue Services on the implementation of the Phase 1 recommendations. It highlights positive steps made, and identifies areas that require further improvement. It also outlines how future inspections will address recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report, published in September 2024.
