Practical hints and tips
While equalities policies and strategies are very important as a way of making clear what you intend to do and why, it is more important to do the work that means that your project is open to a wide range of people and offers opportunities that recognise the diversity within the communities where you work. The documents here offer some simple examples and suggestions on work that can be done to make your project more easily accessible and to enable you to benefit from the diversity in your area.
