The risks of carbon monoxide poisoning increase as we move towards Autumn and Winter. The Gas Safe Charity continues to offer more of their popular and free carbon monoxide awareness workshops. Aimed at front line staff and volunteers, they help people who work in the homes of vulnerable people to be more aware of the risks and to help prevent poisoning taking place. The interactive workshop lasts an hour. To find out more and to book, please click on this link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/115618952399

In our upcoming free webinar, Can You Be 100% Health and Safety Compliant All the Time? on 21 April at 2.00pm, our experts debate whether this is a possible, or even desirable, goal for organisations to have. After all, health and safety law doesn’t demand that all risks be eliminated; it requires employers to find “reasonably practicable” solutions to reduce them.
During this session, we’ll draw on our extensive knowledge of working closely with organisations of all sizes and sectors to explore whether a ‘box-ticking’ approach is enough to sufficiently mitigate risk, plus how to ensure any measures introduced in your workplace aren’t overly restrictive to the point that they inevitably hamper productivity and ultimately your bottom line.
To find out how to compliantly strike the right balance, join WorkNest’s Director of Health & Safety Services, Nick Wilson, alongside Principal Health & Safety Consultant, Scott Crichton, as they discuss how organisations can take a sensible, proportionate approach to workforce health and safety management and debate pertinent questions such as:
• Is it possible, or even desirable, to be 100% compliant 100% of the time?
• Is it better to strive to be compliant or safe?
• How do organisations identify “reasonably practicable” safety measures? And what falls outside of this scope?
• What are the top five most common mistakes employers make with regard to risk assessments, and how can you get these right?

If you have a particular question(s) relating to any of the points above, we welcome you to submit them in advance via the registration form. Our experts will endeavour to answer as many as possible during the session.
Locality would like to invite you to a series of impact workshops and mini clinics over the next two months.
Each will feature different perspectives on measuring the social impact of your work with an interactive workshop on story of change, practitioner input and space for discussion with your peers.
Each workshop will broadly focus on a different London recovery mission. We want to shine a spotlight on how London’s community organisations contribute to these missions.
If your organisation works within one of the missions and you are taking the first steps in learning how to better measure your social impact (or just if you are generally interested) then this is for you.
There’s also the chance to book on our bespoke mini clinics where our experts will work through a basic theory of change with you – see below for details of how to join those.
You can sign-up to our Spotlight mailing list here.

Thursday 21 April 2pm – 3.30pm
New Deal for Young People

The events are free of charge – funded by City Bridge Trust, part of the London Spotlight Programme. Note that the events are interactive workshops rather than webinars (so please be willing to have your camera on and contribute your valued ideas!)
Previous attendees asked if they could have a one-to-one or small-group mini clinic to further develop their story of change. We have a limited number of places on these mini clinics available. Please contact us if you are interested.
“The support that project like us received from Locality is amazing and very helpful. The workshop is very empowering for us to thrive in our service.”
