Subject: Single Equality Schemes



Dear Colleagues,

 

At ECU we are in the process of gathering some of the good practice on
Single Equality Schemes (SES) for a possible project in 2009. To
assist us with this initial mapping phase I would be very grateful if
you could respond briefly to the following questions off list - if you
have a SES - by this Friday.

 

*        What are the main lessons learned from the process?

*        What approach have you taken to incorporating age, sexual
orientation and religion and belief?

*        Which groups did you consult with and how did you consult
e.g. open meetings, surveys, networks etc?

*        What was the timeframe for consultation?

*        How are you going to ensure ongoing involvement of these
groups?

 

Apologies for the short time frame, but a paragraph on each point
would be enough at this stage. 

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Sarah
