Item 3 – Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive: Performance Appraisal and development Scheme

Paragraph 1 – Information relating to an individual

Consideration was given to a report of the Independent HR Consultant which outlined the Performance Appraisal and Development Scheme [PADS] that enabled CFRS to review an employee`s performance against delivery of agreed priorities/objectives, grade the contribution and performance, identify individual and organisational development needs, and support succession planning.

The PADS scheme operated from top to bottom across the whole of the Service and is particularly important at the top of the organisation, as Members seek to monitor progress against the key objectives with the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive, which ensure delivery of the Service’s Community Risk Management Plan [CRMP].

Members were asked to review the performance of the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive against the objective set in 2022-23 and to agree progress against those key objectives and any development needs if highlighted.

The Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive’s full annual appraisal was scheduled to take place on 20^th November 2023.

RESOLVED That:

[1]      the outcome of the appraisal review be noted; and

[2]      Members agree to carry out the full annual appraisal on 20^th November 2023.
