Department for Education: Training

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many staff network events took place in her Department in May 2025; and what the names of those events were.

Answered by Janet Daby

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.

In May 2025, four staff network events were held in the department as part of Dementia Week. The events were:

  1. Supporting Jewish People with Dementia.
  2. Self-Advocacy and Dementia.
  3. Reframing Dementia, Enabling Others.
  4. Faith, Love, and Dementia.
