Blue Light User Group.
Sharing talent management best practice and collaborating on new features to the Talent platform
Run by Blue Light Organisations, for Blue Light Organisations
The Group is chaired by a member on a rotating basis.
We aim for a collaborative environment where talent management best practice is shared – and networks are built – across talent and L&D professionals from police forces and fire and rescue services.
Members take part in interactive workshops, idea generation sessions and case study presentations. You’ll network with other talent leaders from across police and fire services.
Together, members create best practice resources – with input and expertise from Head Light – and influence future software development, so tools meet real Blue Light needs.
Dates and Location
The Blue Light User Group meets twice a year, meeting online or in-person.
For details of date and venue – or a request to join – get in touch with us.
Working Together to Share Good Practice
The Group meets to share experiences and talk through future talent management challenges facing blue light services.
Real solutions emerge from these conversations – ideas that work because they come from people facing the same pressures as you do.
When common needs surface – such as 360 implementation, challenges around talent or PDR best practice – we collaborate to create comprehensive and practical Guides. These capture collective wisdom and provide practical frameworks that members can adapt for their own organisations.
Collaboration that Works
The Blue Light User Group brings together talent leaders who understand your unique challenges.
From leadership challenges and operational demands to public scrutiny and regulatory requirements – members share the same pressures you face daily.
This genuine collaboration means you’re learning from people who’ve tackled similar issues, whether implementing HMICFRS recommendations, looking at what NTDS might bring, exploring how best to identify and develop leadership talent, or solving succession planning challenges. The ideas generated and resources created are shaped by real experience, not theory.
The Group explores what to do and how to do it – taking into account the specific challenges of blue light services.
