Nov 4th 7.00pm. Getting Events Right – Safeguarding and Inclusivity: Sharon Birch
Putting on events – and taking part in them – can be the real icing on the cake for writers, but there is always a risk of things not going to plan. We all want our meetings to be safe and inclusive, but what does that really mean? What are our own responsibilities when we take part in something in the public arena – and what should we expect as participants?
Sharon Birch, who writes crime fiction as Effie Merryl is safeguarding officer for the CWA. An ex-police detective who has worked worked in criminal investigation and child protection, she has over 40 years of experience in the field of safeguarding, doing work for the NSPCC and other charities. She is now a safeguarding specialist working across the UK for a national company.
