Pan-Asian Public Sector Network

We work across agencies with existing ethnic networks to share information and to support our peers that identify with differing cultures and ethnicities.

We want to support the personal and professional growth and development of people from different cultures and ethnicities. We're keen to promote and celebrate the benefits and value of a diverse public sector workforce and to support improved cross cultural awareness.
