Positive Role Models

Question
What steps the Government are taking to provide positive models of the role of women in society.
Answer

We have used positive role models very effectively, notably in science, engineering and technology. I recently spoke at the UK Resource Centre annual conference, which unveiled portraits of six inspirational women in science, engineering and technology, creating a legacy for future generations. The centre has also launched the GetSET Women database, providing access to thousands of female role models and mentors.
