Report of the Education Development Manager

The London Fire Brigade Borough Commander provided an update of Fire Cadets, noting that the programme was aimed at underachieving young people to support and encourage their personal development. He noted that one cadet had recently attended a public dinner and delivered a well-received speech despite initially being a nervous public speaker.

            The Chairman thanked the Borough Commander for his update and added that he was a huge fan of the cadet movement, and that there was a potential event to include the Fire Cadets in come March 2015. The Borough Commander thanked the Chairman, noting that he would work with the Assistant Director of Streetscene and Strategy to establish where the programme could be further developed and whether further funding could be secured.
