Join us for an engaging Community of Practice meeting focused on health and safety programs in the social services sector. This session will provide a collaborative space for professionals to share and reflect on their current health and safety programs, exploring what components are in place and how they are being put into practice.

Guided by Advisors, participants will discuss whether existing programs are effectively addressing workplace hazards and identify gaps or emerging issues. Through facilitated discussions and peer exchange, we will explore common challenges, practical solutions, and opportunities to strengthen health and safety programs across the sector.

At the end of the session, we’ll reconvene to share key themes and takeaways, and discuss next steps for continued collaboration and improvement in the sector. Whether you are developing, reviewing, or implementing a health and safety program, this meeting is designed to support you with practical insights, shared learning, and fresh perspectives from peers to help strengthen how workplace risks are identified, addressed, and managed.
If you’re responsible for health and safety within a social service organization, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and contribute to advancing safety practices in your community.
