This group has been created to meet a growing demand from our members to give women working within our industry a regular opportunity to network, share career experiences, discuss hot topics and exchange ideas. Outputs will feed into other groups as appropriate.
We hope this working group will provide a tangible way for our members to demonstrate commitment to women’s development. By encouraging women on your team to join ‘Women In Telecoms’, you can actively support them with their career goals as well as giving them a voice on the key issues impacting our industry.

This working group focusses on tackling fraud and scams that our members, the UK telecoms industry and other sectors are experiencing. We believe more can be done across the sector which can be siloed in its approach at times. With a renewed interest from policymakers within Government over the past 18 months, there is real opportunity to make further progress. CCUK has been at the forefront of those conversations, championing the need for a more joined-up approach to strengthen ongoing efforts. This group will lead on these discussions.
