Meeting Summary - Event Industry HR Working Group - 05.06.19

Diversified Communications UK welcomed the Cross Association Event Industry HR working group to their offices in sunny Brighton this week.

It was satisfying to see that since our last meeting in February there were 5 MHFA trained Champions and 2 mental health first aiders in the room. It's been a busy 4 months!

The group split into two and explored possible tool box content for our cross association members to utilise. Pulling our resources together the group arrived at various possibilities including a name for such a resource – watch this space.

After a tasty lunch we welcomed Colleen Theron from Ardea International who gave the group insights into modern slavery and the requirements give the recent changes in policy.

The meeting closed after addressing Association Salary Surveys, IR35 changes and DBS checking.

The meeting then carried on at a local pub where the ideas flowed further. Great meeting, great friends, great direction.

Thank you to Cheryl and Raj (Char/Vice), Hazel for hosting and arranging lunch, Colleen for presenting and all who attended.

Next meeting 2nd October at Alexandra Palace.
