Meet the people behind The Safety Net Foundation
We put people at the heart of everything we do. Every action, project, and decision is shaped around supporting others to grow, thrive, and achieve their full potential in health and safety.
We collaborate with humility and respect. By focusing on shared goals instead of personal pride, we create a culture of trust, teamwork, and honesty that strengthens every mentoring relationship.
We believe learning begins with curiosity. Every question is welcome, every mistake is a lesson, and every conversation helps build confidence, knowledge, and understanding for everyone involved.
We value diversity and inclusion. Every background and experience brings unique insight, and by listening to every voice, we create safer, fairer, and more supportive professional communities.
We lead with honesty and transparency. Doing what is right, even when unseen, builds credibility and ensures that the people who rely on us can always trust our words, actions, and intentions.
Growth is a lifelong commitment. We stay open to feedback, new perspectives, and change. Listening deeply helps us evolve, adapt, and improve the ways we serve others every single day.
We share our time, knowledge, and experience freely. By helping others take their next step, we strengthen our community and create a lasting ripple of opportunity across the health and safety sector.
One to one and group mentoring that strengthens confidence, career skills, and professional identity. Mentors guide aspiring practitioners to build competence and the self belief needed to truly thrive.
We link mentees with real charity projects for practical experience and real results. Mentees gain hands on skills while charities receive expert guidance, risk support, and improved safety at no cost.
Workshops, webinars, and collaborative training help participants learn how to apply health and safety knowledge in realistic ways that build confidence, competence, and meaningful practical experience.
We create an inclusive, positive culture where volunteers and mentees feel supported, recognised, and empowered. Everyone is encouraged to grow, give back, build confidence, and strengthen the community.
We collaborate with employers, educators, and professional bodies to open new routes into the profession, expand practical opportunities, and increase true inclusion and accessibility across safety leadership.
SNF promotes equity and inclusion across the safety sector by challenging barriers, sharing lived experiences, encouraging visibility, and driving meaningful change through collective action and collaboration.
We are proud to work with organisations that share our vision of a safer and fairer world for everyone.
Whether you are an aspiring professional, a charity needing guidance, or a business looking to partner with us, we would love to hear from you.
