Top Issues Facing Responders:
Lack of understanding of what it is that we do, and lack of enthusiasm on the part of some members to change that perception. Another big sore point is the lack of guidance being shown to new members of the service by older hands. You are there to guide the new ones, just as someone guided you when you first began.
