Consultation description
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.
The proposals also aim to change and improve the leadership, management and support given to 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 co-ordination service provides.
