Delivering Fairness and Equalities

We provide expert services across the Labour Market, Diversity and Equality in Employment - including Toolkit Development, Research and Project Management

The Diversity Driver
The back to work company had the original concept and did the ground work for the Diversity Driver. The Diversity Driver is a self-assessment tool for organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors to help them benchmark where they are in terms of Diversity and identify areas for improvement. This is a national programme.

Labour Market Diversity - a how-to guide for employers
Developed a comprehensive how-to do Diversity guide for employers in West Yorkshire providing information on developing and implementing diversity in organisations. The Toolkit provided 'good practice' evidence from a range of employers across the region, and due to its success at the Launch, has since been re-printed and distributed nationally.

Community Links for Employers
Along side the above piece of work we also developed a tool for employers in West Yorkshire to promote the recruitment and retention of local Ethnic Minority and Disabled job-seekers. This project involved mapping the different communities across the sub-region and the community organisations which provide support for disabled and ethnic minority job seekers.

The Refugee Job Placement Project
We conducted a Refugee Skills Audit across West Yorkshire to identify the skills and experience Refugees and Asylum Seekers bring to the sub-region that could benefit the local labour market. The Refugee Job Placement Project was funded by the West Yorkshire employer Coalition and was extremely successful.
