Nottingham CSRA Research Event

Dear member,

As you know, we're undertaking an innovative piece of research on the subject of LGB & T career development looking at; the barriers faced, the solutions worked, the prejudices encountered and the opportunities created. In the next day or so we will be launching our quantitative stage to the research through a questionnaire and forum. However today marks the beginning of the qualitative stage of the research.

On Wednesday 26th May, CSRA with our researchers Yougov, will be hosting the second in a series of Focus Group sessions in Nottingham hosted by HMRC in FitzRoy House, Castle Meadow Road, NG2 1AB. The event will be an opportunity for you to tell us what it is like being LGB & T in the UK Civil Service and whether or not being LGB & T has impacted on your career development. It will also provide Yougov with valuable qualitiative data to help formulate the conclusions and recommendations for the research project.

So if you are based in Nottngham, the East Midlands or anywhere nearby, please join us on Wednesday 26th May between 2pm and 5pm in Nottingham. There will be a social event directly afterwards. Attached is a poster for you to circulate within your Department and network. We’d be very grateful if you can arrange to display prominently on notice boards and on intranets

If you are able to attend please let us know by emailing research@csra-uk.org.uk

But if you are not based in the East Midlands there is no need to panic! CSRA will be coming to a location near you on one of the following dates:

3rd June - a:gender event in Sheffield

10th June - Liverpool (or Newcastle)

Early June - Kew, Richmond

Early June - Central London

You will also be able to take part in the questionnaire and forum online across the whole of the UK - http://csrasurvey.yougov.com.
