Equalities work is crucial to the voluntary/community sector (VCS). Significant changes have occurred in relation to equality and human rights since RAISE's last toolkit. This is why we applied for a grant to update it, to ensure that legislative changes could be incorporated, new sections on Human Rights and the use of equality impact assessments could be introduced. We are delighted to offer a series of four one-day workshops, with a qualified and experienced trainer. These workshops are free to either staff or volunteers working in the VCS.

RAISE, to meet and network further.

| South East Regional Equality Network - Business Case
RAISE (Regional Action and Involvement South East) is the regional infrastructure body for the voluntary/community sector (Third Sector) in the South East, and was funded by GOSE to investigate the potential need for a Regional Equality and Diversity Network in the South East. This has been a process that has been supported by an Advisory Group comprising not only the Voluntary/Community Sector (VCS) but also many regional partners as well; who have made an invaluable contribution.
This Business Case sets out to demonstrate the need and outlines some of the data which evidences this, and how it is envisaged this Regional Network would best be established to ensure effectiveness and clearly defined and measurable outcomes. |
