Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service
Annual statement of assurance 2025 - 2026

Our Values & Culture

Our ambition is not just about the work that we do, it also focuses on the way in which we go about our work. Our values and culture are important to us and play a significant role in becoming an outstanding organisation. Culture refers to our identity as an organisation, who our colleagues are, what we do and how we do it.

Our values ensure that we put communities at the heart of all that we do. They align with the National Fire Chiefs Council Core Code of Ethics, embedded in our leadership and behavioural frameworks. These frameworks set out the expected standards of behaviour from colleagues at all levels of the organisation.
