1. Policy Development
We help organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to implement best practice policies that promote equality through one to one advice, training and partnership work. We provide advice on a whole range of practical issues including positive action, cultural diversity, legal obligations, race equality schemes and ethnic monitoring.
2. Public Education
Part of our role within the area is to raise awareness of equality issues and implement appropriate strategies to prevent harassment and discrimination. We do this through involvement in various partnerships as well as events, publicity and exhibitions.
3. Community Development
Because of funding cuts from June we will only be able to offer this service to BME groups in the West Cheshire area. Our community development worker gives advice and support to local BME led groups on all aspects of their development, such as developing business plans, training, registering as a charity and help to identify and secure funding.
4. Casework
We offer a free, independent and completely confidential discrimination/harassment service, which includes representation at Employment Tribunal or court. If you think that you may have been discriminated against then we can advise you on the best course of action and the merits of your claim. Sharon or Pamela, our caseworkers can be e-mailed or you can phone them on 01244 400730, for more information please see the casework page.
