Protecting a Regulated Construction Site with EDF Energy

CPD

Hinkley Point C Power Station, Bridgwater, TA5 1UD

This conference will discuss the challenges associated with protecting the largest construction site in Europe that employs over 5,500 multinational and ethnically-diverse workers across 80 contracted organisation. It outlines the benefits of a strong client/contractor partnership in the delivery of a risk-proportionate and cost-efficient integrated security service whilst also meeting the stringent regulatory and legal requirements associated with the civilian nuclear industry. Also in the agenda, two case studies will share how HPC created its workforce's strong security culture and its proven methodology used to match the dynamic security systems within a construction environment. The afternoon session will compare these challenges to those on a large London-based construction project, with a second session aimed at demonstrating how insider threat needs more than safeguarding priority information.

You can earn 10 formal CPD points for attending this event.

Charity

Every year the Security Institute Chairman chooses a charity partner that the Institute supports. This year we are proud to support Send a Cow.

Send a Cow was set up by a group of Christian dairy farmers from the UK in 1988. Outraged at EU milk quotas, which were forcing them to slaughter healthy dairy cows, and in response to an appeal from Uganda for milk, they embarked on a project, which was set to become an innovative and practical charity. Uganda was just emerging from a long civil war, communities and their farmland had been destroyed and much of the country’s livestock wiped out. Several of the UK farmers flew to Africa to investigate how they could help.

In 2017 the charity Emerge Poverty Free merged with Send a Cow. Together they support even more families in Africa, empowering them to secure their own futures and helping them to lift themselves from poverty.
