Hello everyone,
I received this message about a Government consultation and thought people might be interested in responding (note the close deadline though). I guess it's worth a go, right?!
Best wishes
Sally
Only one week to go – our consultation on 'Strengthening Women's Voices in Government' closes on Friday 10th June
The consultation asks for your views and feedback on proposals for a new way for Government to listen to, engage and communicate with women. This is to enable a different approach to bringing the informed opinion of women into Government policy-making.
The new approach which the Government wants to see is one which is broad based, so women from all walks of life can contribute and have their say. Whether you want to feed in because you feel passionately about a particular issue; or because you are interested in how policy affects women in the UK; this consultation is a real opportunity for you to let us know your preferences for how you want to be heard and listened to and to help us shape the new approach.
There is still time for you to have your say by completing the short online survey or by submitting written evidence to let us know what you think are the priorities for women in the UK and your views on how you want to communicate with government. We will use your views and feedback from the consultation to inform and shape the new approach. Results from the consultation will be published in
autumn this year.
We would very much welcome your views and feedback on our new proposals. You can access the consultation document here and you can respond to the consultation questions online here. Or submit written evidence to [log in to unmask]
It’s your chance to influence our proposals about Government’s new approach for engaging and listening to women in the UK.
We have been attending events & meetings to discuss and promote the consultation – some attendees have said they will pass on the consultation to 10 others and encourage them to respond. Can you do this? We really want to hear from as many women and organisations as possible.
