Members are invited to take part in the LGBT+ Network’s meeting 15 May.
The meeting will be held from 4-5pm at FDA HQ, Elizabeth House, 39 York Road, London, SE1 7NQ.
Guest speaker Charlotte Jackson, former Chair of the Ministry of Justice’s Spirit Network, will talk about what improvements the Ministry of Justice have made for the LGBT+ staff and how this lifted them to the highest performing Government Department in the Stonewall Index 2019.
The meeting will also provide members with the opportunity to network with colleagues and discuss the priorities for the LGBT+ Network.
Members who are unable to come to the London office can dial in to the meeting.

To mark Carers Week, the FDA have published a new report, Changing Perceptions: Helping carers in the civil service reach their potential, which uses the experiences of our members with caring responsibilities to understand the working lives of carers in the civil service and highlight the barriers they face.
