Great thread from Rebecca Florisson delving into today's release in detail. It's concerning that the UK remains an international outlier with participation rates still below pre-pandemic levels.

Very excited for this event, which promises to be a timely discussion by a brilliant panel. Childcare is becoming a bigger and bigger political priority, and receives a growing level of public funding - but what is it actually for? Places are limited so do sign up!

I founded the WiTT Forum in 2021 to meet other women in policy & encourage more women into think tanks. Now, with the Forum over 100 members strong, I'm delighted to stand down as Chair & hand WiTT over to two excellent new Co-Chairs, Ellen Pasternack and florence! 1/3

I'm so grateful for the support WiTT Forum has received while I've been Chair, from think tanks including Resolution Foundation, Bright Blue, Demos, Institute for Government & Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, all of whom have provided space, wine & crisps for many events! 2/3

Since 2021, WiTT Forum has also benefitted from members & non-members giving up their time to speak at & lead events, including Efua Poku-Amanfo, Emily Redding, Madeline Grant, Lucia Asanache, Sam & others. Can't wait to see what Florence & Ellen have planned! 3/3

LOVE to see this We need more women in think tanks, creating a strong pipeline of brilliant future women leaders in policy & politics & Florence will kick ass as co-chair 💪

A huge thank you to Phoebe Arslanagić-Little for all of her work founding and running Women in Think Tanks, it's such a fantastic group - if you haven't already do join (!)
