National Association of Fire Officers

NAFO is a growing, non politically aligned association whose main aim is the enhancement and protection of members terms and conditions.

We are wholeheartedly committed to looking after our members whether they are Full-Time, Retained, specialist groups such as Control Staff, or Volunteer fire-fighters, with a good membership amongst senior Officers. All receive the full support not only of NAFO, but of the massive resources available to NAFO members through being part of Unite the Union.

We believe that the interests of members are best served through consultation and negotiation. By playing a constructive role NAFO seeks to represent all ranks and groups within the British Fire Service. The Association is fully committed to equality and fairness for all. 

NAFO is a semi autonomous Association with the Federation of Professional Associations. The general objective of the Associations within the Federation is to minimise confrontation within industrial relations by encouraging use of independent arbitration when serious disputes arise Being part of the Federation of Professional Associations means that NAFO members have access to a team of experienced full-time officers across the UK on urgent general employment problems with the NAFO National Secretary available to advise and assist on issues that are more service specific.
