Background
This regional seminar series forms part of the Learning and Skills Council’s (LSC) Single Equality Scheme (SES) Support Programme. The Programme is designed to support your organisation embed the values and principles of equality and diversity and in turn the LSC’s Single Equality Scheme.
The Programme covers 7 areas of equality: race, gender, disability, religion and belief, age, sexual orientation and transgender and builds upon existing LSC publications and recent equality and diversity initiatives, including the Disability Equality Duty Support Programme.
Guidance and support is tailored to meet regional priorities and is provided through events, action working projects and a virtual learning environment (VLE). For more information on the VLE please visit: www.lsncommunity.org.uk/vle/research/login/index.php
