Raising our profile
The profile of the Association continues to grow and in recent months has featured across various media platforms, trade and national publications.
We have also had a number of requests for interviews/articles from the media on subjects across many sectors of too. And just this week, we received a reply from Ministers regarding our concerns with military housing.
You may have seen our presence on social media increase as we support these issues socially too, ensuring we are part of the conversation to promote best practice, share guidance and the specialist expertise of PCA members.
Introducing Merlin Sheldrake..
You may have seen across our social channels this week, that Merlin Sheldrake will be our after dinner speaker at this year's Best Practice Awards Dinner!
Merlin is a biologist and author of the bestseller 'Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures' and we are very much looking forward to hearing all about the world of fungi, in Merlin's own unique way!

Men's Health Week
Whilst this week has been Men's Health Week, it is important for us all to support one another each and every week, taking the time to open up and talk about how we're feeling and coping at work. The statistics are frightening when it comes to the numbers of men in construction who take their own life, so let's do all we can to reduce the stigma and keep talking! There's lots of information, suport and resources on HSE's website too.
