JESIP

The interoperability framework known as the Joint Doctrine is up for review and the national JESIP team is seeking evidence and insight from across the emergency services to ensure it remains effective, relevant, and aligned with the evolving demands of multi-agency response.

As he prepared to step down after five years at HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services, Catherine Levin caught up with Sir Andy Cooke for the For Every Response podcast where he reflected on the changes and future challenges that remain.

More than ten years on from its introduction, JESIP remains central to how the UK’s emergency services work together under pressure. In our recent webinar, senior figures from the national JESIP team reflect on progress to date, persistent challenges in frontline adoption, and why shared understanding, everyday practice and organisational learning are critical to making interoperability work when it matters most.

From flooding to battery fires, multi-agency incidents are becoming faster and more complex. JESIP is equipping responders to work together seamlessly, make safer decisions and improve outcomes. Matthew England outlines how the principles are being applied on the frontline.

After the successful launch of For Every Response, the Emergency Services Times podcast, season two promises to bring fresh insights into how blue light leaders are navigating a complex world while keeping communities safe.
