The Equality and Diversity Forum
The Equality and Diversity Forum was set up in July 2005 and has
held regular meetings since then. The Forum has gone from strength
to strength not only through its membership, but also through what
it has been able to achieve for the residents of Bromsgrove. The
Diversity and Equality Forum was originally established so
that residents of the District could have a voice in Council
decisions about policies and services which affect them. Some of
the successes of the Forum have been the supporting of the Hate
Crime initiative, the development of the Disabled Users Group and
the consultation on the Inclusive Equalities Scheme of
2006. As the relationship between Bromsgrove District Council
and the Forum has developed, the Forum have been able to have
their say on issues such as future budget planning,
Community Transport and Town Centre Regeneration. The Forum is
continuing to recruit members from the district of Bromsgrove who
have an interest in the areas of Equality and Diversity so this
successful partnership can continue.
Anyone can attend the meetings even if you have not been to a
previous meetings. The meetings are held on Thursday evenings
and start at 6.15 pm in the Committee Room at the Council House,
light refreshments are available in the Conference Room from 5.30
pm onwards.The programme of meetings for the rest of 2010 is 12th
August, 23rd September (meeting for Community Bids only), 7th
October and 9th December.
