Reports on the measures in Lord Davies ‘Women on boards review’ published in February 2011.

The review:

• identified barriers preventing more women reaching the boardroom
• made recommendations on what government and business could do to increase the proportion of women on corporate boards

The Women on Boards steering board meets every 6 months to consider progress against these measures and reports annually to assess whether sufficient progress is being made.
