ALARM Wales 

                                                      dragon

 

Welcome to 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.
