Liberal Democrat Women Mentoring and Support

Liberal Democrat Women (LDW) are launching a new mentoring and support scheme for female councillors.

It is aimed particularly at newly elected female councillors and also female councillors who find themselves in new leadership positions or split wards.

The idea is that LDW organises mentors for these women, so that they can discuss worries or queries and seek general advice for matters concerning their councillor role in particular and how that fits into the Party.
Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Liaise with a LDW member.
• To seek advice from someone with expertise in campaigning, training, years of experience with the party in their role or a similar role
• Build a personal and professional relationship with their mentor
• Make ‘Positive and Proactive’ steps to help ensure they can succeed in their role

This idea is already working for a newly appointed councillor in Haringey and we have many women councillors and parliamentarians who are members of LDW and are very willing to buddy up with someone and provide this support.

The scheme is open to LDW members in particular and applicants for the scheme, who are not currently members of LDW are welcome join.
