Our values
Integrity, Objectivity and Fairness.
We aim to deliver our inspection programme in line with the following core values:-
- Integrity – putting the obligations of public service above the personal interests of inspections;
- Objectivity – basing our inspection conclusions and recommendations on rigorous, unbiased analysis of evidence;
- Fairness – in conducting our inspections, when interacting with members of the SFRS and relevant stakeholders, we do so in a way that would be considered reasonable and will not impose an unwarranted burden or adversely affect individuals.
In addition to our Values, our guiding principles are that our inspection work is proportionate, accountable and transparent. We will always act independently and publish impartial and objective reports. We will be accountable for what we do and will justify our actions and reports by evidence. We will ensure our scrutiny is proportionate and that, we only inspect what is necessary to achieve our statutory purpose.
