I am the Safety Co-ordinator for the Merseyside & SW Lancs. Branch.  

Thanks to the CWU training scheme I am a member of IIRSM and TechSP with IOSH. Training and education are both endless and I am currently halfway through a degree with London Metropolitan University on Labour and Trade Union Studies in Health and Safety.  We encourage all of our USR's to take part in the courses provided by the CWU both regionally and nationally as well as providing our own NW safety seminars.   

I am Chair of the three NW safety committees, namely the BT Unions H & S Co-ord, the NW Engineering Safety Committee and the CWU Safety Forum. 

However there are also several other national and regional committees that I attend representing the NW.  

Outside work I have been active with the Labour Party on many local issues for many years, standing for election to St Helens MBC five times, Chair of School Governors and Chair of a Parish Council. This can be time consuming but you do get to meet many national decision makers where you can have an influence. However I have curtailed this recently and will reassess my position when the Government has decided the future of the Royal Mail. 

I have joined the Cooperative Party which supports the efforts of those who seek success through co-operative endeavour and that a just and fair society is through power being spread evenly throughout society, not based on wealth, class, gender or race. 

I recently enjoyed a visit to the European Parliament with the Co-op Party. Time left over is spent watching Liverpool at home and abroad, watching home England games and Saints Rugby League.
