  11. DCP OVERVIEW • Voluntary participation – • no redundancy, adjustment by natural wastage • opportunity to transfer to alternative station • Voluntary participation - significant financial incentive to work DCP system • Self-rostering system – requirement to workspecific number of shifts over defined period

  12. DCP OVERVIEW 33% individual FF productivity gain for training, CFS etc • Reduction of 14 staff per station - cost savings up to £400K per pump • One-off capital costs for accommodation etc

  14. DCP STAFFING • Provision for 5 riders • One watch only • 14 staff - 1 x WM ‘B’ - 2 x Crew Managers - 11 Firefighters • ‘Positive’ shifts = potentially more than five on duty (run with up to 8 for training) • ‘Standby’ periods = maximum of five on duty

  15. DCP DUTY REQUIREMENTS • 182 ‘positive’ shifts per annum - before leave/PHs/training taken into account(actual = 148) • Up to 182 ‘standby’ periods per annum • Positive shifts: indicative 0800 – 2000 start/finish including meal breaks • Standby periods 2000 – 0800 • Shifts start at 08:00

  16. DCP DUTY REQUIREMENTS • 14 ‘positive’ shifts in each four week block • Up to 14 ‘standby’ periods in each four week block • Rota for each four week fully populated (1,2 & 3 preference group) – A/L populated for year • No more than five consecutive shifts followed by minimum of two days free from duty (Grey Book) • Duty periods flexible in accordance with station/personal needs
