ANNUAL PLAN 2024/25 31 Indicator Workstream Objective Lead Officer(s) Intended Outcome SC2F: Warranted officers attain accreditation and all officers undertake continued professional development (CPD). Our continued participation in the MMO-led marine enforcement officer accreditation scheme will be reviewed. Progress with officers working towards accreditation has been limited due to various factors, internal and external. We will review the value accreditation affords us and decide a way forward. A culture of CPD will be developed to support all staff with developing and expanding their skillsets. A training budget of £25,000 has been allocated for 24/25 and this will be utilised proportionally across the Authority to ensure all staff have access to appropriate CPD opportunities. Our training matrix will be reviewed and updated, with a new focus on all staff, not just IFCOs. We will formalise our training routes towards becoming seagoing officers, helming RIBs, operating drones etc. so that all staff, in particular new starters understand the training expectations on them, and opportunities afforded to them. We will continue to contribute towards the national IFCA training programme, primarily through our Heads of Enforcement and Science. Mandatory training for all IFCOs will be delivered to nationally agreed standards. We will look to contribute towards the improvement of a formalised training programme for IFCA Science Officers.
