We Want Your Views On The South East Equalities Network (SEEN) Business Case

In January 2007, (RAISE) began to address the lack of a regional equalities network with funding support from the Government Office South East. A fulltime Equality and Diversity Manager was employed to facilitate the establishment of a cross sector Equality and Diversity Advisory Group tasked with establishing the feasibility of setting up a South East Regional Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Network. The Advisory Group has produced a Business Case for a South East Equalities Network (SEEN). This Business Case presents a detailed proposal for a South East Regional Third Sector Equality Network; this document is currently out for consultation and will run until 16th December, 2008. If support and funding are secured it is anticipated that SEEN would become a central resource, assist in building capacity, raise standards within the sector, and seek to ensure that chronically excluded groups are not overlooked. SEEN will also seek to influence policy by utilising the most appropriate partnerships and be a collective ‘voice’ for equality, diversity and human rights in the South East region.
