Department for Culture, Media and Sport: Training
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many staff network events took place in her Department in May 2025 ; and what the names of those events were.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
Staff networks are collaborative volunteer networks, organised by staff themselves rather than the department. As a result, events are organised by staff themselves, not the department. We are aware of the following events that these networks organised in May 2025.
7 events were held in May:
For Mental Health Awareness Week, 5 events took place:
Women’s Mental Health Talk, Monday, May 12.
Men’s Mental Health Talk, Monday, May 12,
Keeping Healthy at Work, Wednesday, May 14
LGBT+ Awareness Talk, Thursday, May 15
Mental Health Awareness Week Panel, Thursday, May 15
For World Culture Day, optional drop-in “bring your own lunches” were hosted in Manchester, Darlington and London on Wednesday, May 21.
The Faith and Belief Network, held a “Faith, Fasting and Food” lunchtime discussion on Thursday, May 22
