FCERM Strategy - Roles and Responsibilities

Overview

This page summarises the scope we gave this working group when it began meeting in June 2018. You will find the summary documents from this working group at the bottom of this page.

How do we develop the current roles and responsibilities of professional partners to be effective, simple and clear?

This group considered current flood and water roles and responsibilities to ensure accountabilities are clear and easily understood with any barriers to being able to deliver the ambition recognised and options for evolving identified. It also needed a particular focus on how we can hold one another to account and ensure delivery of responsibilities across the flood family.
 
Initial questions considered

• Are we clear on roles and responsibilities? If not, how can we describe the current expectations more clearly?
• Do we understand the barriers / issues that are causing confusion now?
• How do we reach a place of common understanding so everyone if clear on their own accountabilities?
• Will the current roles and responsibilities allow us to meet the ambition in the Strategy?
• What are our minimum expectations of one another & how do we assure these?
• How can we sustain & improve skills across sector and community?
