As part of this process, we are organising a round of workshops in January 2016 to gather feedback on our draft statement and objectives, following a first round of events in October 2015. Following the pattern of the previous round, there will be one workshop for sector bodies and another for representatives of institutions. We have a small number of places available at this second event so I am writing to ask if anyone with an interest in or working in the field of equality and diversity at an English HEI would like to attend. The event will take place at our London office in January on a date to be determined through canvassing. We are unable to cover travel expenses but lunch will be provided beforehand. If you are interested in taking part in this workshop, please reply to this email with your name, job title and institution by the end of this week (20 November). We will endeavour to accommodate as many people as possible depending on capacity and availability, however we are keen to have a range of different institutions and HE functions present.
