Re: Responsibility to make arrangements for witnesses.


According to the relevant guidance document over seeing the Fire Service (Discipline) Regulations 1985 responsibility rests with the Brigade. It is argued that is a point well known by ACFO K Seager, who it is assumed is being awkward once more.

Notice of witnesses

7. If not less than 7 days before the date fixed for the hearing the presenting officer or the member informs the disciplinary body of the names and addresses of any witness to relevant facts, whom he may desire should give evidence:

a. Any such witness who is a meber of a fire brigade (including a junior fireman) should be ordered or instructed in writing to attend the hearing and should be required to appear in uniform;

b. Any such witness including employees of the fire authority should be given written notice of the time and place of the hearing and invited to attend.
