About Alarm Wales
We currently have over 100
members, who receive a wide range of services;
- Regional seminars covering
topic suggested by members. We aim to present a wide variety
of speakers, in order to provide as wide a perspective as
possible.
- An annual member survey is
undertaken to find out what our members want and how it should be
delivered. The survey allows every member to provide the
committee with their views, whether or not they are able to attend
regional meetings.
- Alarming News, the
region’s newsletter, is produced periodically. (The title was
decided via a prize competition in 2006, which attracted 25
imaginative entries).
- Various themed events are
organised, such as mock trials for over 150 highways staff,
(October 2006) and a free IOSH Managing Safely course,
(March and April 2007).
- Networking is encouraged,
with members either contacting each other or routeing enquiries via
the Secretary. This is an opportunity for members who may not
otherwise be able to attend meetings to take an active part in the
region’s activities.
- The committee is exploring
the potential to hold a number of joint events with other regional
groups, (e.g. IRM, IIA, CIPFA, etc.), to provide
cross-fertilisation of ideas and enhance networking
opportunities.
- Additionally, all our events
are open to guests and members are encouraged to bring along a
colleague or two who might benefit from taking part. We see
this as helping members to demonstrate the value of risk management
to others within their organisations as well as generating
specialist input to the topics in question.
Alarm Wales continues to
develop services for its members. We recognise that not
everyone will be able, or even want, to attend regional meetings,
(not least because of the time needed to travel in Wales), but
believe it is important that every member has full access to all
that is available and is able to participate in the way that suits
them best, as and when they want to.
