IPP “Projects”

April 12, 2006

We’ve heard that members undertaking the Inspector’s Promotional Program are being directed to come up with ideas that subvert our Awards as part of a course project, and then encouraged to implement these projects when they get out in the field.

Could this be the origin of the recent spate of management memos on matters such as Inspectors signing off on the payment of refreshment and meal allowances (see our notice dated 31 March), and the incorrect Personal Carer’s Leave notification directive (our notice dated 23 March)?

Senior management really must be bereft of ideas if this is the case. It’s certainly not the stuff of a “world class fire service.”
