ASFP’s Contribution to Improving Irish Passive Industry Standards: David O’Reilly, ASFP Ireland’s Chief Operating Officer will explain the background of ASFP generic guidance and how this is being used to improve the standard of design, installation, inspection & maintenance of passive installations in Ireland. The introduction of the new Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR) in 2014 was a game changer for Irish Construction, achieving its purpose of ensuring a strong culture of compliance with Building Regulations. This presentation will explain why this change was so welcome, the challenges it presented, how ASFPI members are working within this new environment and how the Association is engaging with them in developing effective strategies for demonstrating knowledge-based competence.

The work of the Building and Fire Safety Ministerial Working Group and Building Standards Futures Board: Dr Garvin will provide background and key outcomes from the Building and Fire Safety Ministerial Working Group to date. One of these outcomes was the creation of the Building Standards Futures Board to take forward recommendations from the Compliance and Fire Safety reviews immediately following the Grenfell Tower fire. Dr Garvin will provide an overview of the Futures Board workstreams including the local authority verifier workforce strategy, compliance plan and compliance manger role for high risk buildings, verification delivery model, digital strategy and penalties.

The Children’s Burns Trust is a national charity dedicated to providing rehabilitation support for burn and scald injured children and their families, as well as prevention and awareness campaigns for which there is little or no national funding.

ASFP have supported the Children’s Burns Trust for their incredible charitable work that they carry out day on day throughout the year. So far, and with your help, we have managed to help them raise over £15,000!

CBT makes a positive difference in three ways:

• Raising awareness of burns and scalds to children with PREVENTION campaigns

• Working with NHS professionals to provide direct help and funding for REHABILITATION

• Giving direct financial SUPPORT to families and hospitals, providing advice on how to access burn related information

Why does the UK need a charity like this?

A burn injury is for life. Being burned or scalded as a child means years of painful treatment and in the worst cases hundreds of operations to release the scar tissue as they grow. The psychological impact of a burn injury is also immense, particularly when burn survivors reach their teenage years and have to cope with self image and self confidence issues. The Children’s Burns Trust is the only UK children’s charity working nationally who are devoted solely to these areas.

Be a part of the change. Your support to continue this vital work, and of course your money, will be helping the lives of hundreds of children. And in return, you will have something to smile about, and every reason to feel proud of your contribution.
