Boys and Men: Conferences
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 29 May 2026 to Question 3026 on Men, what planning has taken place for the National Men and Boys Summit to date.
Answered by Catherine Atkinson
The Prime Minister committed to holding a National Summit on Men and Boys in 2026 to bring together key sector partners and Government, to raise awareness and develop plans to tackle issues facing Men and Boys. He asked the Deputy Prime Minister to lead this work.
By convening Departments and partners under the Deputy Prime Minister’s leadership, we can ensure a joined-up approach that delivers meaningful, measurable impact.
A wider series of public facing events is being planned over the coming months, including regional roundtables with the men and boys’ sector and advocates, and meeting with stakeholders to discuss topics such as media literacy and masculinity; social connection and loneliness, and fatherhood to inform the National Summit later in 2026.
