About session five

For our Progress session, we looked at incidents that have arisen both nationally and internationally to look at what happened, what was learnt and what needs to be done to prevent this from happening again. 

We are joined by Sarah Schubert (Chair of the Institute of Civil Protection + Emergency Management. ICPEM) and Kevin Crawford (CIAT President) to look at the Turkish Earthquake and the Scottish schools inquiry.
