Tackling violence at work will be one of the main topics for discussion at our next Health and Safety Reps Network which will take place online on Thursday 10 October from 10 am to 12 noon.

Register now to join the session which will also include important updates from TUC Cymru and the Hazards Campaign.

The network includes opportunities to hear from experts, learn from each other and gain valuable knowledge to enhance your role as a safety rep.

Speakers at this network will include:

• Janet Newsham, Chair, Hazards Campaign
• Professor Jonathon Shepherd from Cardiff University’s Violence Research Group on The Cardiff Model for Violence Prevention
• Mike Walker, Regional Secretary, South Wales and Western Region, Usdaw
• Joe Donnelly, Head of Health and Safety for UNISON

There will be an opportunity for reps to discuss their own current workplace health and safety issues and concerns and to share advice, resources and support.

The network event will be co-chaired by Carol Revell (PCS health and safety rep) and Jo Rees (TUC Cymru Education Officer).

Who is it for?

Whether you're an experienced health and safety rep or just developing a new interest and keen to find out more, the TUC Cymru health and safety network is a great place to expand your network, exchange ideas, and stay updated on the latest issues in the union movement. The network has been set up with health and safety reps in mind but is open to all reps (union reps, learning reps, green reps, equality reps) and any union members who want to learn more.
