Throughout the year, our collective efforts have not only sustained our momentum but propelled us to new heights, making significant strides in increasing our influence both in the UK and across the globe, fostering a culture of collaboration through our work to achieve our strategic mission and vision that seeks to inspire others and create real change to people’s lives.
Our Health and Safety Awards scheme continues to grow, with our biggest ever ceremonies held in London, Dubai and Glasgow. RoSPA Qualifications also expanded its reach and influence, while our training, e-Learning and consultancy services were merged to create The RoSPA Academy – a centre of learning and excellence.
RoSPA continues to be a leading voice in safety, challenging the Government and shaping policy.
