APSE Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Seminar - Thursday 16 May 2024

Local authorities continue to explore and review the parts they play in tackling issues around inequality, improving diversity, combating racial disparities as well as exploring strategic perspectives which can lead to improved opportunities for marginalized communities.


This seminar brings together a range of expert speakers that will be exploring steps local authorities and partners have taken and are continuing to take in carrying out, developing and supporting a diverse workforce and community at all levels, co-ordinating better dialogue, promoting equality, engaging and responding to the needs of everyone in the community as well as meeting and addressing challenges.


This seminar presents an excellent opportunity for delegates to share best practice and gain an overview of how colleagues are meeting these needs.

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.
