Yet so many talented people, from career-changers to those looking for a fresh start, are being shut out by the age-old \u201cno experience, no job\u201d cycle. In this conversation, I sit down with Kev Robins and Ben Pollard to uncover the mission, the momentum and the movement behind The Safety Net Foundation: a new not-for-profit social enterprise designed to open doors, level the playing field and support the next generation of safety professionals.  &amp;nbsp;  We get into the story behind the foundation, the gaps it fills, and how each of us can actively support this much-needed step forward for our profession. If you care about the future of safety, this one is well worth a listen.  &amp;nbsp;  Highlights   Why the Safety Net Foundation exists: creating structured pathways into safety for first-starts and fresh-starts  What makes it unique: focus on soft-skills, confidence, communication and real-world experience  How mentoring works: personalised pairings, relatable lived experience, safe-space support  Helping charities: pro-bono safety support while giving mentees hands-on practical exposure  How companies can get involved: partnerships, monthly supporters, volunteering, introductions  Early impact: mentees already being supported, CV help, interview preparation and job placements  Future vision: qualifications funding, wider industry reach, digital platform with CPD and community  How to take part: become a mentor, a mentee, a volunteer, a partner or connect them with charities   Resources and actions:  Website &amp;amp; Registration   Safety Net Foundation website: https:\/\/www.thesafetynetfoundation.co.uk   Charity \/ Partner Enquiries   Charity partnerships contact page: https:\/\/www.thesafetynetfoundation.co.uk\/contact  Corporate Partner Information: https:\/\/www.thesafetynetfoundation.co.uk\/partners&amp;nbsp;   Social Media   LinkedIn (main comms channel): https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/the-safety-net-foundation  Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thesafetynetfoundation&amp;nbsp;   Connect   Connect with Kev on LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kev-robins\/  Connect with Ben on LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/benpollard88\/  Sign up for a future Safety Roundtable:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/safetyroundtable.co.uk\/  Connect with Christian on LinkedIn:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/christian-harris-slip-safety\/   &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Safety And Risk Success","author_url":"https:\/\/www.slipsafety.co.uk","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39265710\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/39265710"}
