Highways England, HS2 and Network Rail host this virtual Masterclass.

An inclusive site is one that can be used easily and safely by everyone, in a way that maintains their dignity. It ensures that, wherever possible, buildings and spaces are appropriate for diverse needs and accessible to all, behaviours are respectful and a culture is established so that everyone knows how to practice Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) in their daily working lives. It goes beyond a compliance approach to ensure that everyone working on, communicating with, or visiting the site are treated with fairness, inclusion and respect.

This Masterclass will set out the benefits of an inclusive site and will take participants through each stage of the process with clear guidance. It will be backed up by case studies and examples of industry good practice. It is relevant to all size and type of site and compliments the FIR E-Learning course ‘Setting up an Inclusive Site and Site Office.’

• Understand why FIR is important in the context of setting up an inclusive site
