We are interested to hear about ICT projects involving any of the following
groups - children, older people, gay men, lesbians, minority ethnic groups,
parents, carers, travellers, people with disabilities, men, women.
Also any research that demonstrates a differential in take up of ICT-based
services based on any of the following factors - age, race, marital status,
religious belief, political opinion, dependency, gender, sexual orientation,
disability
The reason for this request is that the project which will deliver the
People's Network in Northern Ireland has to undergo an equality impact
assessment, a requirement under the recent equality legislation.
This is a major research and consultation exercise and a pioneering exercise
too as it will be one of the first such assessments to be carried out
Thank you

Library Board, Omagh, Co Tyrone, BT78 1HL
