The SAFE Leader training aims to take you on a transformative leadership journey, and is designed for both current and aspiring leaders in the engineering sector. The course builds inclusive, psychologically safe leadership through our SAFE Framework: Share, Act, Feel, and Empower.
The engineering industry is facing some serious challenges. Our research shows that just over 4 in 5 engineers experience emotional or mental health concerns, yet less than half feel comfortable talking about issues like this with their employer, and a staggering 1 in 4 engineers have considered self-harm or taking their own life. This comes at a time when the skills gap means we’re expected to need a further 173,000 engineers over the next 5 years; meanwhile, women are leaving the industry at an increasing rate. Having psychologically safe teams and culture is more important now than ever.
Across the four modules, The SAFE Leader training aims to:
This EqualEngineers course is also CPD-certified, meaning that the 12 hours across the 2-day course will count towards CPD hours for those who are professionally registered.
If you’re ready to cultivate an inclusive leadership style, want tools to use in your workplace, believe active listening is key to success, or are ready to create a culture where people feel able to speak up, then contact EqualEngineers or visit our website to book a place on one of our courses.

Because inclusive assessment is good for everyone, the EPC All in for Engineering Assessment Development Group is delighted to invite Engineering Academics Network members to this two-day workshop, generously hosted by Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University (RGU).
The workshop will equip academic and professional services staff with the confidence, evidence base and practical tools to design, deliver and defend assessment that is:
Outputs will feed directly into an EPC EDI Toolkit, initially based on the neuro-inclusive Maturity Framework which will be launched early in the 2025/6 academic year. We will be creating a reusable take-away pack for academics, course leaders, external examiners, briefing materials for PEIs/PSRB panellists, and a models / checklists for assessment setting. There will be plenty of opportunity to learn, share ideas and have a go.
There will be a meeting of the RIKT R&D Case Studies working group taking place Wednesday 27th August 2025 at 11am.
