The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 made it unlawful for an individual to be discriminated against in the workplace in relation to selection for a job, training, promotion, work practices, dismissal or any other disadvantage such as sexual harassment because of their sex or marital status.

The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 
prohibited sex discrimination in the workplace. Since October 2010 this has been regulated by the Equality Act. This legislation protects employees and workers (and anyone under a contract to personally carry out work) from less favourable treatment as a result of their sex.

"I have a first edition of Red Watch. Great read.I think I've read most on your list, but two I would recommend are, Lifting the Kid @Kfullen76
& Fire Woman @FireWomanJo1
Two excellent reads and books the majority of the FRS can learn from."


​".. One of the best biography I have ever read"

​"Josephine paved the way for females in the fire service and should be justly proud of her achievements. This book is an excellent record of her fire service adventure and is a first-class read.”

​"This book is an excellent read! This one had me enthralled and I read it in just a few hours ! Brilliant insight into the world of firefighting and Jo's private life too .. had me laughing in places, crying in others ... fabulous"​
