1. Selection

In each edition of Safeguard we select three questions arising from material published in that edition.
Here are the current questions, which relate to the Sept/Oct 2026 edition. Feel free to respond to any or all of them.

An edited selection of responses will appear in the following edition.

We ask for your contact details but they are not printed, so you can speak freely!

One respondent will be randomly drawn to receive a prize, namely a copy of the book An Invitation to Safety Conversations, by Daniel Hummerdal.
