You have identified some learning points from an incident that you were dealing with and these will be discussed at a later debrief with responders from other organisations and control room staff
Learning from Experience
However, this joint organisational learning should not be confined to those involved in this incident as the learning could equally apply to all responder organisations in the UK who perform the same role.
JOL Online is available for all responder organisations to share learning with organisations across the country, which is why it is important to record any issues or learning.
Incidents are not the only source of learning. Lessons can arise from training or exercise events. If you think you can contribute to your local debrief then please tell your manager
Help & Guidance
To support responder organisations in capturing learning from incidents, training and exercising, there is a multi-agency debriefing template available on the JESIP website.
It is essential that responder organisations have effective debrief procedures to help identify better ways of working together.
It is important that all organisations have processes in place to ensure that any lessons identified are shared through the national Joint Organisational Learning (JOL) Online arrangements
If we do this, then we can all learn from each other and we will keep getting better to:

Final Points
Multi-agency working is all about what each organisation brings in the way of capability, expertise and resource.
If you aren’t sure of an organisation's or individual’s role and responsibility at an incident, ask them.
They will probably be able to assist with delivering your priorities or help to avoid conflict and duplication.
Interoperability is how you make it all work together
