Women’s Employability Forum

Working with policy makers to help mothers and support economic growth.

5th March 2025. 

Taking place in the week of International Women’s Day, we celebrate the progress made since the forum’s launch in September 2024—including a key meeting at Portcullis House.

The ‘Get Britain Working’ White Paper includes sweeping reforms aimed at achieving an 80% employment rate. We welcome that women, particularly mothers, are to be supported into employment and to progress in their careers, as they can play a vital role in reaching the Government’s ambitious goals for growth. With survey feedback and over 100 members, the forum has built momentum as it works towards supporting more women returners and mothers into employment.

This practical and informative one hour webinar provides an update and discusses how we can work with policy makers to help mothers to reach their potential and support economic growth.

The Women’s Forum is a group of women specialist organisations created to champion mothers in the skills and employment sector. Made up of Successful Mums, Belina Grow, Women’s Work Lab and Transform Lives.
