Dear colleagues I am pleased to announce that at HEFCE's initiative, we are considering guidance for communications offices in HEIs on building equal opportunities considerations into all their communications functions. We hope to have the guidance ready by year's end (ambitious!) and to consult you and others in the sector about it in the autumn. We will be engaging a consultant/expert to draw up the initial draft quite soon. We expect to have the tender details ready this week. If you can think of anyone well-placed to undertake the work, please contact me before the end of today (Tuesday) or Philip Walker ([log in to unmask]) thereafter for a copy of the specifications for the tender. Yours Poppy -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Jean Rosemary Burchett [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 12 May 2003 14:06 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Language and cultural guidance Dear Colleagues Has anyone developed a policy or guidance on language and cultural awareness/behaviour for staff?
