South Wales Police Federation equality lead Julie Reilly said: “International Women’s Day is a fantastic opportunity to share the successes of our colleagues and their incredible stories.

“It’s also a chance to celebrate those people who inspire inclusion by working to support female members in their work.

“The Federation’s webinar promises to be an interesting and engaging morning, with some excellent speakers covering interesting and informative topics.” 

The webinar is open to anyone who wants to attend and is free to Federation members and representatives.

The morning will start with a welcome from Belinda Goodwin, PFEW’s parliamentary, specials and gender lead, and from Hayley Aley, PFEW’s women’s health lead.

Hayley will also lead a session on the menopause and how women can best be supported in the workplace, while Jen Sharpling, the co-founder of Bleepkind, will talk about support for officers with their job-related fitness tests.

Other sessions include Inspiring and supporting officers for equality in method of entry; and a presentation from Karen Giles, the Met’s longest serving female officer inspired, on what keeps her inspired.
