By Chris ChapmanThe 14th Fire Management Symposium, held in Karkloof in the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Midlands, was well attended by FPA managers, firefighters, land managers, foresters, researchers and trainers, once again proving its worth as the country’s premier fire indaba. Karkloof was an appropriate venue for the event, as it is located in the heart of the midlands forestry belt that has had its share of destructive wildfires over the years.

On 22 May 2024, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he
had requested permission from King Charles III to dissolve
parliament and call a general election. The election will take
place on 4 July 2024. Opinion polls suggest the opposition Labour
Party, led by Sir Keir Starmer, are on course for electoral
victory. If that is the outcome, this means that in less than 3
weeks, the UK will have a Labour government for the first time
since 2010.

In 2018, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority
("FCA") stated publicly that
"non-financial misconduct is misconduct, plain and
simple", emphasising their view that the Conduct Rules
applicable to most employees within regulated firms did not require
amendment to bring behaviours such as bullying and harassment
within their scope. Five years on, the FCA is proposing to amend
the Conduct Rules to include explicitly such behaviour.
