Join Prof Steve McGuirk CBE, QFSM, DL, MA, BA(Hons), BSc, FIFireE, for a transformative one-day professional development event in partnership with the Institute of Fire Safety Managers (IFSM). With nearly 40 years in fire and rescue services, including 17 years as Chief Fire Officer, Steve brings unparalleled expertise from his senior operational roles, as well as his role as an expert witness in the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry and Executive Director of the Fire Sector Confederation. This high-impact event condenses seven years of Grenfell Inquiry evidence into seven hours of practical insights, equipping fire safety practitioners with the systemic awareness needed to help prevent future tragedies.
Delve into the Grenfell Inquiry’s findings through three dynamic sessions. First, demystify the Public Inquiry process, exploring its structure, media influence, and key outcomes from both phases. Next, uncover Phase 2’s revelations about systemic failures to rethink fire safety as a complex adaptive system, and the implications for professional practice. Finally, experience a minute-by-minute analysis of the critical first two hours of the Grenfell fire, examining command decisions and pivotal moments that shaped the outcome, drawn from Inquiry evidence.
This focused and immersive event is a vital investment for fire safety professionals committed to strengthening accountability and judgement. Previously delivered to multiple organisations with exceptional feedback, this Day offers a unique opportunity. Secure your place for a day of profound learning and professional growth, as attendance will be limited.
