Across major incidents from Grenfell to the Manchester Arena, public inquiries have exposed a consistent thread: well-intentioned leaders placed in critical positions without the tools, training, or reflective habits to succeed. The failings rarely start on the day of the incident, so in this session, join us to explore how the emergency and resilience sector can shift from reactive scrutiny to proactive preparedness. Drawing from high-profile cases and frontline experience, they’ll ask: What should have happened before the incident and introduce CPDresilience as a digital enabler of this change.
