English speakers
Greetings
i have been contacted by someone from CSV in Newcastle upon Tyne, Kath
Patton, who is preparing a bid to the Dept Health for Section 64 funding of
an action research project on the above topic. They have piloted
"newsletters" in 6 languages on audiotape and following positive feedback
including from LA and their PCT wish to test their idea more widely.
Kath is looking for other projects/ ideas on research or development work in
innovative methods to communicate effectively in languages other than
English to guide her bid and ensure they build on existing knowledge. If
anyone is able to give her details of work they have done or read she would
be very grateful.
Please reply to [log in to unmask]

Subject: changes to the law against racial discrimination
Greetings
There has been little publicity but this weekend the law against racial
discrimination has been changed. More information will be available on the
CRE website www.cre.gov.uk sometime today and and a leaflet can be
downloaded from the home office website where there are also more details of
the changes; www.homeoffice.gov.uk/comrace/race/raceact/index.html
I have reproduced part of a statement by the CRE Chief Exec Daniel
Silverstone. It is not a press statement, although there may be one later
today;
"The EU Race Directive, designed to ensure a certain level of protection
against racial discrimination throughout the EU, comes into effect on 19th
July. Parliament has approved the Race Relations Act 1976 (Amendment)
Regulations 2003 to implement the changes in Great Britain - with effect
from that date.
"The Race Regulations 2003 will introduce some new definitions, for example
of indirect discrimination and genuine occupational requirement, and a
change in the burden of proof. They will also abolish some exceptions,
including those relating to small dwellings, employment in a private
household, partnerships of 6 or less and acts done under statutory
authority.
"However, because of some of the differences in scope of the EU Race
Directive and British race legislation, there will be some inconsistencies
in the way our legislation operates. For example, the directive applies to
discrimination on grounds of race and ethnic or national origins - but not
colour or nationality, so the new definitions will apply only to race and
ethnic or national origins. It is not clear either whether the directive
applies to public functions such as law enforcement, regulatory or control
functions, and this may only be clarified by litigation.
"Although the changes will make our law more complicated in the short to
medium term, most of the changes are very positive, and we welcome them.
There is also a non-regression clause in the directive which means that
there can be no reduction in protection in the way the directive is
implemented, so where the directive and the new definitions do not apply,
the existing law and definitions do. The Commission had pressed for primary
legislation to avoid this twin-track approach, and will continue to do so.
The Government is aware of the problem."
As you can see answering detailed queries on this may not be straightforward
initially but as Daniel Silverstone points out the overall direction is very
positive. Some of the most relevant changes may be in widening of the
definition of indirect discrimination, closing of the loophole on
partnerships, statutory prohibition of harassment on racial grounds, changes
to the genuine occupational requirement definition and to the burden of
proof.
