FDA

The FDA, along with other civil service unions, works proactively within departments on equality and diversity issues, playing a pivotal role in creating a fair workplace. A further commitment of the FDA to equality and diversity is to engage with diverse and often under-represented groups across its 19,000-strong membership, through its four diversity networks:

• Black and Minority Ethnic Network
• Disabled Members' Network
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Network
• Women's Network

Members of these networks meet regularly to discuss work issues, provide mutual social and professional support, and to help shape the policy of the FDA.

Testimonials

• "Attending the conference has given me the confidence in approaching and speaking to senior leaders and no matter what grade, I am now able to approach them. I even approached a deputy director at the conference, who became my mentor and enabled me to progress to where I am."
  Adeel, HMRC
• "My personal experience of attending the Ethnic Minorities into Leadership conference has always been positive and I have found it extremely useful in terms of enhancing my personal development and providing a fanstastic platform for effective networking. As a result of attending, I have developed cross government relationships with like-minded ethnic minority colleagues and upon invitation, even had the opportunity to give a leadership journey presentation at a ethnic minority network event in the Home Office. I am looking forward to attending this year which already promises a great line up of speakers."
  Rose, Ministry of Justice

• "I feel that my experience at Ethnic Minorities into Leadership was extremely positive. Seeing the path of successful people and finding the common themes that led them to their position was a fantastic learning experience that may not be found within my day to day place of work. A day definitely worth attending!"
