The Social and Employment Issues  group deals with problems which arise as a result of the changing lifestyles in our society. 

At  recent meetings there have been speakers on women in the criminal system, diversity and employment, and the national strategy for carers.
Regular reports are given on the latest developments on topics such as  'women in decision making', family issues, employment issues, and 'offenders and victims'.

The current work plan is to consider:   

      •  Changes in social security provisions
      •  Women and the law, prisons
      •  Prostitution
      •  Women and employment
      •  Carers
      •  Employment and ageism
      •  Violence against women and children
      •  Anti-social behaviour
      •  Child poverty   

Any woman who is interested in sharing her views or gaining information about current social and employment issues is welcome to make contact and attend our meetings
