‘Secure Places and Safe Language’ is inspired by the INWED 2023 theme #MakeSafetySeen.

Our guest speakers will share how their work contributes to safety and security. We shall be covering a variety of topics covering feeling secure in places including our workplaces and transport systems and feeling safe in the language we use. Real-life examples and ideas will be explored in a Q&A session to further share ideas and discussions to make everyone feel welcome, safe and secure.

This free online event is an open-to-all event which has been organised by Engineering Together in association with the Women’s Engineering Society Tyne and Tees Cluster and Engineering & Manufacturing Network.

The Top 50 Women in Engineering WE50 2023 celebrates the women engineers who are engaged in safety and security and who #MakeSafetySeen. These amazing women work to keep us safe, wherever we are, whether at work or leisure, at home or online. Following in the footsteps of the WES first Secretary, Dame Caroline Haslett, who invented the three-pin safety plug to protect children from electric shocks, the 2023 WE50 winners will be women who are protecting the public through their work, often unseen and unknown.
