Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service: Accelerated cause of concern
In our inspections, if we identify a more serious, critical or systemic shortcoming in a service’s practice, policy or performance, we will report it as a cause of concern. A cause of concern will always be accompanied by one or more recommendations. When we identify causes of concern during our inspections, we normally provide details in the subsequent service report.
In some cases, such as where we discover significant service failures or risks to public safety, we can report our concerns and recommendations earlier. This is called an accelerated cause of concern.
We have issued an accelerated cause of concern to Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service because its prevention activity is not effective enough.
