Topic groups share and exchange information across the network

Members’ only event

Although women working in UK fisheries are a community that is scattered across the UK, thanks to technology we can come together and exchange information and share experiences. With this in mind, UK Women in Fisheries has launched a series of Topic Group webinars, to discuss the important issues in UK Fisheries today. There are many important issues, and we are asking members to nominate topics that they want to discuss in a webinar format. These topic groups will be a rolling program. The four current topic groups are:

• Training and Recruitment

• Vessel Safety, and the new U15m code

• Retail and consumer

• Policy, Research and Governance

The first one is on Thursday April 7th, Training and Recruitment, and we will be hearing from Katie Hooper, Seafish Training Adviser, and Ashley Mullenger on career pathways for women, into fishing, followed by discussion and chat.

As always, the webinar talks will be recorded and available to members shortly after the webinar. And as always, to promote openness, the discussion will not be recorded.
