Integrated Personal Development
System (IPDS)
The Integrated Personal Development System provides a structured learning path to enable every member of staff to be attracted to the service, trained and developed throughout their career; the majority of the core training will take place at the Fire Service College (Moreton in Marsh). IPDS is inclusive of all members of fire and rescue staff. Her Majesty’s Inspector of Fire Services and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister commend the new scheme. It features prominently in the Heads of Agreement Pay Settlement for 2003 and detailed in Fire Service Circular 9/2003. IPDS will secure high quality service provisions.
There is a high risk to the Fire
Authority if this is not provided.
