About 
CFA has commenced consultation on a number of SOP’s currently under review. Copies of each draft SOP can be found at the bottom of this page. VFBV is now calling for volunteer feedback and discussion on the proposed changes to assist with formal VFBV comment and feedback that will be provided to CFA.
Any comments on suggested improvements or clarifications would be welcome, as would any practical limitations or difficulties members may identify. Feedback via email or post would be most preferred, and feedback is welcome from any individual, brigade or group.
We have nominated a VFBV Support Officer for each – they will be coordinating and collating field feedback, that will then be used by VFBV to provide a formal response to CFA.
Feedback is requested no later than the 15th July 2019 – but much earlier if possible. It would be preferred that members provide feedback ASAP, so that it can be received incrementally, allowing us enough time to consolidate, identify trends and research issues raised by members.
