The question

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

Answered by Alex Norris

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 (internally) published events that these networks organised in May 2025.

  • Progression, learning and development-Race Equality and Celebrating History Network (REACH)
  • Weekly Mental Health Support Group session x 4 events (Mental Health Ambassadors)
  • Mental Health Ambassador – Induction Session (Mental Health Ambassadors)
  • Black Baby Loss Awareness Week Panel Event (REACH and Gender Networks)
  • Menopause Lunch & Learn (Optional Discussion) -Gender Network
