NAHT Women's Network

Following feedback from members, we are delighted to announce the launch of our women’s network. NAHT’s Women’s Network is an informal group for women members. The network is led by members, for members.

The network helps amplify the voices of women members within NAHT, as well as providing support, information and networking opportunities. Members of the network also have the opportunity to participate in the wider work of NAHT – this includes engaging with our policy discussions with government, representing NAHT at campaigning events, and feeding into discussions and decision-making with other sectors in the union, such as the Diversity and Inclusion Group (DIG).

Facilitated by NAHT, the network will meet online every half term with the option to engage in a busy WhatsApp group for network members.
