Capita
Diversity in Practice Conference
Friday 29th February 2008 – Central London
Aims and objectives
With the creation of a new combined equalities body, the undertaking of the Discrimination Law Review, and the deadline for meeting the targets of the 10 Point Plan, 2008 sees a spotlight on diversity within the public sector.
Public sector organisations have a legal duty to advance equality and diversity across their organisations. Complying with equalities legislation requires more than just paying ‘lip service’ to our responsibilities. How do we ensure we fulfil our duties effectively and fairly?
Capita’s Diversity in Practice Conference goes beyond the moral and business case for diversity. It focuses on identifying practical measures and solutions through best practice in the fields of race, gender and disability equality, as well as diversity in religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and age.
Attend Capita’s conference to take away ideas on how to embed your equality and diversity policies and practice across these areas, to ensure that you are both progressive and protected as an employer and service provider.
