Overview
In addition to the 2006 requirement to produce Disability
Equality Schemes, from April 2007 all public sector
organisations will have a legal duty to positively promote
gender equality. They will need to produce a Gender
Equality Scheme outlining how they will take steps to do so.
Preparing the gender scheme can be a daunting task and
public sector organisations need all the help they can get
to outline the steps they will take to meet the needs of 52%
of the population!
This workshop will benefit Equality and Policy Officers with
responsibility for producing the scheme. Senior Managers
with responsibility for keeping within the law and promoting
good practice.\
Content
Using interactive material, scenarios, quizzes and examples
of good practice we look at:

What is Gender?

Facts about men and women.
-
The different issues and priorities for women and men
who use our services.
-
Is this a scheme for women, or a scheme about gender
difference?
-
Where do transgender issues fit?
-
Will women be put off using a service because of lack of
childcare or an unsafe or unwelcoming environment?
-
Employment policies: Is there a pay gap between men and
women doing the same job or jobs of similar value?
-
How flexible working benefits men and women.
-
How do we recruit staff to get a good gender balance?
-
Is there occupational segregation? If so, how to rectify
the situation?
-
The workshop will also ask: How can we consult 52% of
the population.
