Asked by Rosie DuffieldIndependentWomen and EqualitiesTabled Answered 26 March 2025UIN 39065

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, if she will meet representatives of the Sex Equality and Equity Networks.

Answered by Dame Nia Griffith

The Office for Equality and Opportunity (OEO) meets with a broad range of external stakeholders to test and develop its public-facing policies and initiatives, but does not meet with internal staff networks. Matters relating to internal Civil Service policies can be discussed with the Government People Group or individual departmental HR teams as necessary.
