Join a live webinar to learn about the Sussex Wellness Action Group (SWAG) and what you can do to support the mental health and wellbeing of the workers on your sites.
Supported by many main contractors, subcontractors and consultants, SWAG is a charity in the community set up in order to support a consistent approach to mental health and wellbeing on local construction sites.
This is not a paywall. Registration allows us to enhance your experience across Construction Management and ensure we deliver you quality editorial content.
Registering also means you can manage your own CPDs, comments, newsletter sign-ups and privacy settings.
Although SWAG was originally set up for companies in the Sussex area, it has generated interest from other areas and any construction company
is welcome to get involved.
During the webinar, founders Jason Wickenden, operations director for Chartered Building Company Cheesmur, and Ian Pickard, managing director of IDP Safety Services, will cover the importance of mental health, spotting the early warning signs and the role of mental health first aiders – as well as how to get involved.

Modern Approach to Construction Design
15 June, 12.30-1.30pm
We are now familiar with the knowledge that the built environment is a 40% contributor to the climate and ecological crisis we witness unfolding around us.
Against this backdrop, Martin Brown, founder of sustainability consultancy Fairsnape, will explore how design and construction can contribute in the climate and ecological emergency and become 40% of the solution rather than remaining 40% of the problem.
This session will explore the shift in approach that will be necessary as well as the frameworks that allow us to move to a built environment that is not only sustainable but socially just, ecologically robust and culturally rich.
