She Serves Too is a community dedicated to championing, connecting and amplifying the voices of women across the emergency services sector.

From the frontline to leadership, women are breaking barriers, saving lives and shaping the future of emergency response. She Serves Too exists to celebrate those achievements, foster meaningful connections and inspire the next generation of women entering blue light roles.

Following the incredible momentum built at The Emergency Services Show and The Emergency Tech Show, we're inviting passionate advocates to help drive our #SheServesToo campaign forward. As a She Serves Too Ambassador, you'll play a key role in raising awareness, sharing experiences and creating opportunities that support women working across the emergency services community.

If you're ready to inspire change, champion inclusion and help strengthen the future of our sector, we'd love you to join us.

She Serves... But at what cost?

Policing

  • 35.4% of police officers are women - up from 34.7% in 2023 but women still remain underrepresented, especially in senior ranks.

  • Only 32.9% of promotions went to female officers in the year to March 2024

Fire & Rescue

  • Just 9.3% of firefighters overall were female, even though women made up 14% of new recruits and apprentices

  • Across development and trainee roles, around 17% of firefighter trainees and 16% in development were women, whereas only 10% of competent firefighters were female

Ambulance

  • A record 22,536 incidents of violence, aggression and abuse were reported, that’s a 15% rise from 19,633 the previous year

  • On average across the UK, at least 62 ambulance staff are attacked or abused every single day, nearly three incidents every hour

  • Alarmingly, female paramedics are three times more likely than the NHS average to face assault

WHY THESE STATS MATTER?

  • Women remain underrepresented, especially in leadership and frontline roles like firefighting.

  • Violence against female staff is rising, with ambulance workers facing daily abuse.

  • Inequality affects recruitment and retention, limiting the talent pipeline.

  • Diverse teams deliver better outcomes, this is about safety, effectiveness, and fairness.

  • Progress is too slow, awareness must turn into action.
