Claremont is a proud sponsor of the Excellence in Blue Light Event.
We hear about collaboration across the public sector, Healthcare and Local Government became more entwined when Social Care responsibility was transferred from the NHS to Local Government.
Central and Local Government also work closer as part of decentralisation with emergency services always being the most obvious to collaborate. And over the past 5-plus years, it has been happening, but many have felt that it has been far slower than it should have been. So why is this?
Whilst regional blue light organisations quickly took the first step towards collaboration by sharing buildings to cut costs, many are now looking at how to move beyond this. That challenge though is overcoming the different requirements the 3 sectors have when it comes to joint control rooms, each have different requirements for staff, IT systems, back office, etc. So how can blue light have one solution from which all 3 sectors can operate whilst adhering to the various requirements?
