Equalities data and the requirement to collect

Who is it for and what is it about?

All RSLs should now be collecting equality information in line with the SHR requirements. Each organisation should also have a clear plan for how this data will be used to inform future plans i.e. promoting engagement, enhancing customer care, identifying underrepresented groups, providing tailored services and support, etc.  

This short course will ask delegates to reflect on their process for collecting equality data and learn lessons to inform how they may collect this type of data in the future.  In addition, the trainer will reflect on some of the issues they have seen whilst helping various organisations develop their plans.
