EXECUTIVE SUMMARY	This paper details the roll out of the improved Home Fire Safety process. This project will result in the employment of a team of dedicated technicians with fully equipped vans to deliver our home safety services in a consistent way across the Service, thus freeing up capacity within Groups. It has the potential to result in an increase in Home Safety Visits to over 20,000 per year from a pre-pilot level of less than 4000. The ultimate goal of this project is to roll-out a consistent process across the Service which enables the most vulnerable members of our community to contact us easily and arrange a visit that is best suited to them, at a mutually convenient time. Appendix A of this report sets out the Briefing Paper that has been prepared for the Committee on this matter.
