The Home Secretary has commissioned HMICFRS to review the governance and progress of London Fire Brigade’s action plan to implement the recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry report.

On 4 August 2020, the Home Secretary commissioned HMICFRS to undertake “a light touch review of the governance and progress of London Fire Brigade’s action plan to implement the recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry report. An early review, carried out by HMICFRS, would indicate whether London’s significant transformation programme is starting to have a positive effect and they have made sufficient progress on delivering against the recommendations.”

This document sets out the proposed terms of reference for this inspection activity.

The Phase 1 Grenfell Tower Inquiry report contained 46 recommendations. The scope of our inspection will include the 16 recommendations directed solely at the London Fire Brigade (LFB), and the 13 recommendations directed either at fire and rescue services or emergency services more generally, which includes the LFB.
