Senior Women's Network

The Senior Women's Network aims to increase the number of women in the Senior Civil Service and in top management posts.

The Network meets regularly, in an informal setting, to exchange ideas on various business issues and provide support to each other as change leaders. It also offers an opportunity for senior women to discuss and own initiatives, helping them develop their leadership skills.

Achieving our diversity targets

The representation of women at senior level in the Civil Service compares favourably with the private sector, but we are not on track to meet our PSA targets. To do this, we need to have women making up 37% of the Senior Civil Service (SCS) and filling 30% of top management posts by April 2008.

By providing this forum in which senior women can learn from and offer support to each other, the Network can play a key role in helping us reach these targets.

Senior women in the Service will be invited to join the Network. For further information contact: ilaria.miller@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk
