Hard not to smell a really rancid rat. Crapita have royally (and very publicly) cocked up almost every forces related contract they have been involved with.
My son was diagnosed with PTSD post Afghan and after a tribunal chaired by three civilian JAGs he was sent for an assessment upon which hinged his eligibility for therapy. I went with him at their request to act as a witness and confirm his version of symptoms etc.
The assessor was a very young (perhaps 25 max) lady who informed us she was Crapita and had previously worked for HMRC as a secretary. I asked how long her training in the diagnosis of PTSD had been and she told me she hadn't had any !
Needless to say my faith in this firm, especially given their previous "form", is somewhat jaded.
The Defence Fire & Rescue contract is likely to be manned by ex HMRC cooks and civil servants dumped out of other departments. How did they get this ? Who else tendered for it ?
My advice is to not catch fire.
