APSE Equality, Inclusion & Diversity Seminar 2022

Kindly sponsored by

Local authorities continue to play leading roles in addressing issues around inequality, always exploring and reviewing what actions they can play in tackling issues around inequality, improving diversity, combating racial disparities as well as exploring strategic perspectives which can lead to improved opportunities for underrepresented communities.

This seminar brings together a range of expert speakers that will be exploring steps local authorities have taken and are continuing to carry out in developing and supporting a diverse workforce at all levels, co-ordinating better dialogue, promoting equality, diversity and inclusion as well as  engaging and responding to the needs of diverse communities as well as meeting and addressing challenges, particularly post COVID 19 on issues like employment, skills and a sense of being part of local places.

The seminar presents an excellent opportunity for delegates to share best practice and gain an overview of how colleagues are meeting these needs around inclusivity and tackling entrenched structural inequalities.

Therefore, this seminar is a MUST ATTEND EVENT for those officers and members who want to look at ways of developing and improving solutions to address social inclusion, Communities, Equalities and Partnerships within the local authority context.
