Policies and Procedures
Equal Opportunities - Policy Framework and Implementation Checklist
This information sheet is separated into three sections - "Steps for Developing Equal Opportunities Policies", "A Model Framework" and "An Implementation Checklist". The first section sets out the steps for developing an equal opportunities policy for use in the voluntary sector. The 'model' policy provides a framework for reflection, training and action. It outlines a framework in equal opportunities that groups and organisations can be striving towards. The "implementation checklist" provides you with a quick check of the current health of your group regarding its equal opportunities. it can also be used for the purposes of debate and planning of future action.

The Resource Centre also publishes all of their own policies on their website for groups to use as sample policies.
The Resource Centre's Beachcomber database has an up to date list of more local organisations who can help with developing policies or provide sample policies (just fill in the short monitoring form to see the list).
