Who We Are

This is the website of the Civil Service Rainbow Alliance, CSRA, which is the volunteer based cross-departmental network group that represents and supports lesbian, gay and bisexual staff in the Civil Service. CSRA seeks to drive change and provide services both through the co-ordination of constituent networks and independently itself.

CSRA works in collaboration with a:gender, the corporate staff network for staff who have changed or need to change permanently their perceived gender, or who identify as intersex. Together we seek to support transsexual, transgender and intersex staff. 

CSRA is made up of representatives from Government Departments’ and their agencies’ LGB & T network groups. All LGB & T members of staff within the Civil Service are able to become members of CSRA. 

CSRA’s has a pastoral role to support LGB & T staff in the workplace and support their departmental network groups. Secondly, CSRA has an advocacy role to represent and articulate the views of LGB & T staff to the rest of the Civil Service.
