Back in 2019, Tetbury Goods Shed Hosted their very first parkrun. Now 6 years later its more than a Saturday morning run with friends, its become a community, a support system and away to celebrate well-being. As we pass our sixth birthday, I have taken a moment to reflect on what parkrun has meant to me, to all of our hard working volunteer and to all who have walked, jogged, run or simply cheered from the sidelines.
In the fast-moving world of health and safety, standing still means falling behind. Laws can change regularly, best practices get better, and new dangers pop up all the time. For those of us working in health and safety, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) isn’t just something you schedule; it should be how we think every day.
Whether you’ve built your expertise in public industries or like me come from the military, the drive to keep learning is part of everything we do. This blog looks at why CPD matters for health and safety professionals, what good it does, how we can get involved, and why it’s more than just a planned event.

If you have firefighting extinguishers in your workplace that contain foam (known as AFFF – aqueous film-forming foams), you will need to ensure that by 4 July 2025, they do not contain PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid and its derivatives).
How good is your business at recycling? Whilst many companies have made efforts over the last few years to separate general waste and recyclable items, it is now going to be a legal requirement to do so when the new Simpler Recycling Law comes into force on 31 March 2025 (31 March 2027 for Micro-Businesses).
Applicable to all workplaces, businesses and non-domestic premises, Simpler Recycling will make it mandatory that all waste is separated in accordance with their waste collector’s provision.
