Equalities Resource Pack
This CD Pack is a clear, practical and useful guide for community groups supporting them to improve how open, safe, accessible and inclusive their groups, meetings, events, activities and processes are.
There are three main sections:
- An explanation of what 'equalities' is about, why it is important, the aims, and key tips.
- Practical guides on venues, events, equalities policies, buildings and work with volunteers; definitions and the language of equalities.
- Information, statistics and useful contacts on ‘communities of interest’ locally and nationally.
The Pack can be used for funding bids, training, developing policies and action plans, templates, practical tips, how to gauge success and helping to find sources of support locally and nationally.
Each section is 3-6 pages long so it can be easily printed off for training and other uses. Links to other sections in the Pack, websites or email addresses are used throughout so that people can jump directly to other sources of support and information.
