Following HFRS’s distribution of a proposed ‘ Personnel Reserve’ Duty System, Brigade officials will be travelling to Hampshire to visit their counterparts to discuss the proposals being put forward. Brigade officials will also be meeting with local firefighters to get their views on how the system works on a day to day basis.
All personnel should now be aware of the personnel Reserve and be submitting their views via the email address provided by management. All responses should also be copied to FBU officials, personnel should take every effort to complete a full and acurate submission on how the feel that the proposals would impact on them and effect their working life especially in comparison to what is currently in place

Following the FBU submitting a ‘Collective issue’ surrounding how HFRS have applied the national guidance on the CPD Application process, we can report that management have carried out a re-examination all of those CPD Applications that were turned down for reasons of sickness absence. Anyone who has received a letter stating that they are still not going to receive their CPD should contact a Brigade official ASAP.
