Equalities
The Human Rights and Equalities Project
The Human Rights and Equalities Project is a countywide project hosted by the Eastbourne Citizens Advice Bureau and funded by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. It aims to organise and deliver training sessions to develop the capacity and understanding of voluntary organisations, frontline workers and community representatives on various aspects of Human Rights and Equalities. These sessions hope to fulfil the aim of better enabling advisors and workers to employ human rights at work, to understand the practical applications of Human Rights laws for themselves and their service users, to assist clients in identifying various aspects of discrimination and to support victims in their access to justice. Courses are free and will be tailored to your specific needs. We will also provide legal advice and representation on the equality enactments to people who have been discriminated against in the course of their employment. This service will build on the existing partnership of the current legal advice partners in East Sussex and will include building on work to develop access advice to various BME communities, members of community isolated by disabilities, older people and people from gay and lesbian communities.
