#123 BreaktheBias on International Women's day with Women In The Fire Service

In celebration of International Women's day we welcome Women in the Fire Service UK to host today's episode.WFS was set up in the 1990s as a self-help group. Our members of all genders, come from all roles across the Fire and Rescue Service – from firefighters and control staff, administrative and support staff and senior officers, to members of airport, defence and works fire services.Since its formation, the members have sought to influence the equality agenda, taking active roles in research, for example into women’s fit fire kit, supporting positive action initiatives, working with the government in nationwide campaigns for recruitment and playing a part in national groups with other stakeholders. We are recognised nationally, currently holding a seat on the Fire Sector Federation, amongst other inputs to the local and national agenda.“Enabling and inspiring confident and successful women to build a more progressive Fire and Rescue Service.”to find out more visit the WFS website HEREA big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.
