1 of 4 - A short 🧵 - I’ve been at a conference for the last 2 days. Unusually for me no tweets or comment. Thats because I was sat at the front of the @AsianFSA Winter Conference chairing the event, held this year at the Royal Armouries in Leeds in partnership with @WYFRS
Excellent day at the @AsianFSA conference hosted by @WYFRS Superb range of speakers with about 300 attendees...everyone committed to improving culture and inclusion. Lots of learning tackling difficult subjects from inside and outside fire. 👏👏
