This consultation puts forward proposals for a modernised, fully-networked national Coastguard that can more flexibly manage the greatly varying demands of its workload. These proposals will enable Coastguard Officers to better use their skills and training with a salary that reflects this.
We also want to change and improve the leadership, management and support we give our volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officers, and make better use of their local knowledge and training.
The consultation contains opportunities for comments and suggestions. The consultation is for Coastguard staff, Coastguard volunteers, partner organisations and the wider general public with an interest in the services the Coastguard Coordination Service provides. The consultation started on 16 December 2010 and run for 14 weeks until 24 March 2011.
Please make sure your responses arrive no later than that date. online response form
