Question to the Ministry of Justice:

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

Staff networks are collaborative volunteer networks, organised by staff rather than the Department. The majority of staff time spent on network activities is voluntary and unpaid.

We are aware of seven events organised by networks in May 2025:

• Parenting in the Fast Lane: Managing work, life, and everything in between. Parents Network panel event.

• Meet the new MoJ Armed Forces Network and commemorate VE Day.

• My journey to Islam: A panel event hosted by the MoJ Muslim Network where colleagues explore their experience of joining Islam.

• Meet your staff networks: lunchtime marketplace event in Petty France.

• Parent’s Network and Safe Space Forum session on understanding the impact of domestic abuse.

• Frontline Staff Network Knowledge Sharing event: Tips for presenting data.

• Let’s Talk Menopause: Supporting the Workplace in Menopause (SWIM) Network Event for Managers.
