The SCSC is the UK's professional network for sharing knowledge about system safety. It brings together engineers and specialists from a range of disciplines and industries working in system safety, academics researching the arena of system safety, providers of the tools and services that are needed to develop the systems, and the regulators who oversee safety.
The SCSC provides seminars, workshops and tutorials throughout the year, with a three-day annual Safety-Critical Systems Symposium in February.

We intend to publish a more comprehensive article for INWED (International Women in Engineering Day), which will include historical and international contributors to the field.
International Women's Day is on 8th March. The SCSC is producing a Newsletter article all about women in systems safety, covering both historic contributors and those active in the field today. If you know of anyone who ought to be included please contact wendy.owen@scsc.uk. The article will be published later in the year.
