ICE in conversation with Grenfell Next of Kin

The Grenfell Tower tragedy, its causes and its consequences cut to the heart of the practice of civil engineers. In 2021, the ICE received a request for support from Grenfell Next of Kin, a grassroots support initiative representing immediate family members of the disaster’s victims. The ICE called on John Carpenter, an ICE member at the forefront of driving competence around safety in construction, to assist.

In the support he provided the group, John embodied the ICE’s Code of Professional Conduct, demonstrating how members can enact their ‘overriding responsibility to the public good’.

In this ICE podcast, ICE director of engineering knowledge, Mark Hansford, and knowledge content director, Alex Wynne, are joined by Kimi Zabihyan, an advocate of the Grenfell Next of Kin group, to discuss the support John provided.

Episode produced by Steph Fairbairn and Dr Joe Jackson.
