Mainstreaming Equalities Organisational Development ProgrammeEdinburgh18th November - Action Planning and Equality Tools (module 2)

Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS) is providing exciting opportunities for fellow CVSs, VCs, Interfaces and national intermediaries through the SVA Change Champion project Applying Good Equalities Practice. This is being delivered under the title ‘Mainstreaming Equalities’.

The project provides a free-of-charge Mainstreaming Equalities Organisational Development Programme. At a time where the equalities landscape is changing and public sector funders are developing their requirements in this area, it makes sense for the Sector to share its knowledge and put in place practical actions to deal with the challenges ahead. Participants will share their equalities knowledge and experience and explore the practical, reasonable actions they can use to mainstream equality.
