This morning, we have the monthly meeting of the Core Partners of the Regional Equality and Diversity Partnership. This is usually held on the first Tuesday of the month, but our work schedule (along with most the rest of the country, it would appear) has been messed around by additional bank holidays, half term childcare, local elections - you name it!
Three out of the four Core Partners are represented here today: Leicester Council of Faiths, The Race Equality Centre (TREC) and Leicestershire Centre for Integrated Living (LCIL) - where the meeting is being held today, as normal. Laura Horton, REDP Project Manager, is in the meeting too of course.
High on our agenda this morning is planning an event on the Specific Duties attendant on the Equality Act 2010. This will be held in Nottingham at the end of June. It's purpose will be to inform Voluntary and Community Sector groups and organisations about these duties, which should be performed by authorities and service providers.
We're in the process of finalising the programme, scheduling workshops, confirming speakers and facilitators. There's a lot of creative energy whizzing around - all we can say right now is, "Watch this space!"
