# Event Details - **Event Name**: Grenfell Lecture - Lessons Learnt - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Professor Steve McGuirk CBE QFSM will explain what actions were needed and those that still require action and how that should be achieved.About this EventThe Grenfell Tower fire was a tragedy for people, buildings, systems and leadership. The Inquiry revealed how those elements interacted. The operational response highlighted the difficulty of command when reality outstrips training & doctrine; but the final report showed deeper fragmentation of the wider fire safety system. The challenge now is whether the sector can learn collectively, organise coherently, and sustain reform long after the headlines have moved on.The WCOFF session therefore will begin by reflecting on the purpose and nature of a public inquiry, drawing on Prof McGuirk’s experience as an expert witness to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry and considering how such inquiries gather evidence, reconstruct events and turn hindsight into formal public learning.It will then draw out the main themes from the Grenfell Inquiry’s final report, before focusing on one operational strand: the operational and command challenges faced as the fire developed in ways that were outside normal expectation, doctrine and experience.The session will consider what this tells us about decision-making under pressure, the limits of procedure, the difficulty of recognising system failure in real time, and the way operational events are later judged through the lens of inquiry.It will conclude by looking beyond Grenfell to the continuing risk of fragmentation of the wider fire sector, the purpose of the Fire Sector Confederation, and the role of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Fire Safety and Rescue in helping to sustain attention, learning and reform.The Netflix documentary, Grenfell Uncovered is a BAFTA-winning documentary, offering a powerful and insightful exploration beyond the scope of this session.This is an open access event. There is a discount for members of The Worshipful Company of Firefighters and others who are members of City Livery Companies. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/grenfell-lecture-lessons-learnt/100001989389190622 - **Event Categories**: contests, workshops, art, fine-arts, parties, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Lloyds of London, The Old Library - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 45, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Lloyds of London, The Old Library - **lat**: 51.5130826 - **long**: -0.0825109 - **full address**: Lloyds of London, The Old Library, 1 Lime Street, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Grenfell Lecture - Lessons Learnt - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/18d485c9403d4c4e5ca272f6bf18ece2f79ca5de5826009ed20aab749352b9a0-rimg-w1107-h1081-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1779509367 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Grenfell Lecture - Lessons Learnt being held? - **A:** Grenfell Lecture - Lessons Learnt takes place on Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Tue, 14 Jul, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Lloyds of London, The Old Library, 1 Lime Street, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Grenfell Lecture - Lessons Learnt? - **A:** Grenfell Lecture - Lessons Learnt is organized by Peter Holland CBE, QFSM. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
