Full Day

The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland planned to release guidance on the new procedures for Section 75 in the autumn of 2009 but publication has been delayed. We anticipate that the new guidelines will be very different from the previous guidelines. There is likely to be greater emphasis on corporate planning cycles, monitoring, reviews and action plans.

Description

What are the Workshop Objectives?
You will get an opportunity to gain insight into the new guidelines being proposed by the Equality Commission. The participants will be able to compare and contrast the new duties against the old format and to discuss the impact of the changes on your organisation. A Q&A session will allow you to air all your equality issues.
