Brought to you by The Safety Net Foundation and our Women In Industry Ambassador Programme, this discussion explores the realities facing women working across the safety sector today - from representation and progression to workplace culture and leadership visibility.

The panel will reflect on the challenges that remain, the progress being made, and the practical steps organisations can take to create more inclusive, supportive and forward-thinking environments. Looking ahead, the session will consider what meaningful change looks like in practice, and how the industry can continue evolving.
