Fire engineering profession reform

The government is committed to delivering on the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s Phase 2 report recommendations concerning fire engineers, strengthening public safety by building a highly-skilled and sustainable profession with high standards of professional accountability.

The Authoritative Statement of the Fire Engineers Advisory Panel is a response to the Inquiry’s call for an authoritative statement of the knowledge and skills to be expected of a competent fire engineer.

The accompanying next steps statement sets out how government will implement both the recommendations of the Inquiry and the advice of the Fire Engineers Advisory Panel.
