Stop. Make a Change 2023 (SMAC-23) will run between Monday 9 October through to Friday 20 October 2023.
Why these dates? Sunday 10 October is World Mental Health Day and the European Week for Safety & Health runs in the third week of October - so we thought we would capitalise on the fact that there will be an increased focus on Health, Safety & Wellbeing during this period.
What will happen during events?
The agenda for the event will be at the discretion of each organisation. However, it is expected that all companies use the time to brief staff and suppliers on the national commitments. The remaining time may be used to brief on company-specific commitments, and to have open discussion as to how health and wellbeing can be improved within the organisation.
What happens after the event?
We would welcome your feedback on how Stop. Make a Change went for your organisation. We hope to publish some of the best practice that has emerged from the events later in the year. If you are posting about SMAC-23 on social media, please use the hashtags #StopMakeAChange or #SMAC23.
