NFCC Culture and Inclusion Conference 2024
NFCC Culture and Inclusion Conference
15th and 16th July 2024
Burlington Hotel, Birmingham
We would like to invite you to save the date for our forthcoming Culture and Inclusion Conference. Taking place on 15th and 16th July in Birmingham, this is an NFCC led sector wide event focusing on continuing the journey to enabling a truly inclusive UK Fire and Rescue Service.
Full information on the conference and the programme of speakers will be released in the coming weeks but we would like to invite you to save the date in your diary’s whilst booking details and the full programme is confirmed.
Day one will focus on progress made against the NFCC Culture Action Plan, wider sector developments and reflections over the past year. We will hear keynote addresses from Anthea Sully – CEO of White Ribbon and Chair of our independent challenge and support panel and the Fire Minister. HMICFRS will also join us to update on The State of FRS report, misconduct thematic inspections, and spotlight recommendations progress. Day two will begin with a keynote address from Chief Executive Siobhan Melia focussing on learning from NHS and ambulance. We will then move into a shared learning session with input from services who have taken part in independent culture reviews followed by a lived experiences panel session to help shape our next steps.
Booking Details and Audience:  We would like every UK fire service to be represented at the conference, alongside key external partners. We encourage attendance from senior leaders, EDI/culture leads and FRS colleagues who can bring different perspectives and thinking about Culture and Inclusion to the conference.  Booking will be available by early May and can be made via this webpage with credit card payment or invoice options both available. Please note that tickets will only be available for the conference itself, we will not be offering accommodation. Delegates will be responsible for sourcing their own accommodation and there are lots of options to suit all budgets nearby to the Burlington Hotel. The hotel postcode is B2 4JQ to assist with finding accommodation.
