Governance
The Authority’s Governance Framework
Governance is about the way the Fire Authority controls and manages its affairs. As a publicly accountable body, it is important that high standards of governance are in place.
The governance framework comprises the systems and processes, culture and values, by which the Authority is directed and controlled, and its activities through which it is accountable to and engages with local communities. The effectiveness of arrangements in place are reviewed annually and inform the Annual Governance Statement.
