Dear Colleagues,
Conference speakers and workshops now
finalised for Gender Duty events
ECU, UCU, Unison, and the University of Leeds invite you to attend one
of our free half day conferences ‘The Gender
Equality Duty: achievements and challenges one year on’ on Wednesday
30th April and Friday 16th April in London and Leeds
respectively. Please find the booking form and programmes attached.
The event will
provide a platform for equalities practitioners, other interested staff members
and union representatives to discuss how HEIs have dealt with challenges in
implementing their Gender Equality Schemes and reporting back on progress. It
will do this by encouraging discussion, giving participants practical advice, as
well as demonstrating how universities can work in partnership with other
agencies.
Please contact me if you would like more information and also to send
your booking forms by email or fax by 31st
March 2008. Feel free to forward this email on to other staff in
HEIs who are involved in the implementation of their organisation’s
gender equality schemes.
Best wishes,
