the needle from the haystack – meeting the new equality specific
duties’
To be held on Monday 23rd January, 2012 at Woburn
House, 20 Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9HQ.
http://www.woburnhouse.co.uk/contact.aspx
This event is
aimed at helping delegates to find their way through the
’haystack’ of data, find where the data ‘needle’ is pointing and
use this in setting equality objectives.
The aim of this
event is to support practitioners in meeting the specific duties
and our objectives are to help practitioners to:
-
understand what
we have to do and by when to meet the equality specific duties;
-
learn how
different institutions are preparing to meet the duties;
-
understand how
equality data can support us in meeting the specific duties;
-
be confident in
using and making sense of equality data to inform objective
setting;
-
be aware of
other developments in HE relevant to the duty to publish
information.
