Current School status re: Coronavirus: At this present time we are not intending to change the format, or cancel, any events, activities, meetings or projects the Supply Chain Sustainability School are running. However, we are closely monitoring the situation and advice provided by the Government and will act accordingly. Should there be a need to cancel any training events you will be informed as soon as any decision is made so please keep an eye out for these communications which will come via email and also stated on our website. Should there be a need to cancel events or meetings, the School will endeavour to run a version of the event via webinar or meetings remotely wherever possible.

Construction and infrastructure has a pipeline of works worth £600bn, and there are further significant works planned, including building new homes. As a result, there is an acute shortage of skilled workers available, at all tiers of industry supply chains.

We need to make our industry a more attractive place to work, so that we can better attract, train and retain the talent we need to deliver this pipeline of work. One way that we can do this is by cultivating a culture of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) in our offices and on our sites. This will also boost productivity, innovation and financial returns.

By attending this workshop you will : 

• Understand What FIR means
• Why it matters
• How to progress FIR within your own organisation
• Discuss the barriers to fairness, inclusion and respect (FIR) and how they can be overcome
• Produce your own FIR action plan
• Gain Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, to add to your professional profile
