It has always been referred to but a formal Service Order has now been put in place. Coaching Skills training is delivered to all Line Managers (operational and non-operational), and Mentoring is provided to new firefighter recruits and delegates on a Middle Manager Development Programme. The Organisation is going through a period of transformation in terms of culture and more emphasis is being placed on Leadership. Coaching is one of a range of Learning and Development interventions and it is important to use when it is genuinely the best way of helping an individual develop.

It is envisaged there will be an equitable split of work via the matching system LFRS adopt.
