Summary

Machine-generated summary

The London Fire Brigade is seeking an external reporting line operated by an independent third-party provider, giving staff an additional route to report concerns about misconduct, including discrimination, bullying and harassment. The Brigade's Professional Standards Unit will continue handling misconduct complaints as business as usual. The external reporting line is intended for complaints concerning allegations against staff working in the Professional Standards Unit, against Directors and members of the LFB Senior Leadership team, cases where there is a perceived conflict of interest, and allegations that are especially sensitive or complex, for example involving multiple complainants, respondents or witnesses, or exceeding the Unit's capacity.
