As a strategically funded partner of the Scottish Government Equalities Unit, CEMVO Scotland’s Race equality Mainstreaming Programme aims to provide support to Public, Statutory, and Third Sector Organisations in the implementation of race equality in all areas of their organisational development and processes.
 
Our support is FREE and open to Public, Statutory and Third Sector organisations that are committed to developing or improving their approach to addressing race equality. Our only expectation from the provision of support is to be informed of any positive outcomes or agreed actions that have been implemented over time.
 
What support can we provide?
Depending on the needs of an organisation, our Race Equality support can include one or more of the following:
 
Formal Consultancy Support
Up to 3 days face to face consultancy support by a small team of race equality practitioners on any area of organisational development – such as leadership and governance, HR and workforce development, data gathering & analysis, community engagement, service development, procurement, equality schemes/outcomes, and equality impact assessments.
 
Informal Consultancy Support
Continuous informal support by a race equality practitioner via emails, telephone or meetings on short life pieces of work – such as race equality policies and practices,   mainstreaming reports, equality outcomes, and community engagement strategies.
 
Community Engagement
Helping to organise, promote and facilitate community engagement events at local, regional or national levels. These events can, for example, be for consulting with communities on policy or service development issues, on race equality outcomes, or as part of an overall strategy to promote the organisation as a diverse employer. The expectation is for organisations to cover venue and catering / refreshment costs for holding such events.

    • Mainstreaming race equality
    • Discriminatory processes: attitudes & prejudice
    • Cultural awareness
