"Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service’s membership with AFSA has created an amazing opportunity to better support and progress our vital Equality, Diversity and Inclusion work.
For us, EDI is a celebration of all people and communities of Warwickshire, acknowledging differences but also a coming together in understanding and appreciation. The very word ‘Community’ means ‘come unity’.
We have a very close relationship with AFSA, and the synergy we have created and are developing together, has greatly strengthened this valuable partnership but moreover drives our common EDI ambition.
AFSA are an incredibly supportive partner organisation and we feel sure our collaboration will grow and encourage new opportunities, break down barriers, challenge behaviours and create a better and more inclusive world.
AFSA has enabled and encouraged a highly progressive school of thought by recognising the need for early interventions and offering strong examples to positively shift Leadership thinking, policy, planning, culture and all aspects of service delivery, particularly community engagement.
The collaboration between Warwickshire Fire and Rescue and AFSA is key in celebrating the rich tapestry of our diverse communities and beyond; our relationship with AFSA and the support they offer us could not be more highly valued. Thank you AFSA!"
