The LRF is required to meet at least twice a year. Our LRF has two groups that fulfil this: the Chief Officers Executive Board meets four times a year comprised of Chief Officers and Strategic leaders from LRF partners, and the Monthly on Thursday, where emergency planners from all LRF partners meet to undertake planning activity as directed by the Chief Officers Executive Board. We also have Delivery Groups that meet on dedicated LRF working days twice a month.

The LRF meet on a regular basis twice a month to discuss delivery of the programme of work which will include risk assessment, plan reviews and training.  This way of working has been found to be very effective because it allows all responders/partners to meet at the same location thus enabling much better collaboration.
