Fair Work Agency
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps the Fair Work Agency is taking to ensure its first enforcement strategy addresses the specific barriers faced by marginalised workers, including young women, in accessing their employment rights.
- Answer
-
The Fair Work Agency's (FWA) Advisory Board includes representatives from businesses, trade unions and independent experts, providing a range of perspectives to support its work.
The FWA Assembly will bring together stakeholders from across the social partnership, including organisations representing marginalised workers, to share views, information and insight that can help inform the FWA's future priorities and strategic thinking. It will meet for the first time in autumn 2026. Further details will be communicated shortly.
The Assembly will inform the development of the FWA’s first three-year Strategy, which will be published in spring 2027.
