We work to achieve to remove the barriers to employment and entry into employment facing minority and disadvantaged groups. We recognise that stereotyping and prejudice can be deeply entrenched and if we are to address inequality and discrimination we need to use many different approaches, from working with school children and disadvantaged groups to raise self esteem and aspirations, to providing training and support for employers to help remove discrimination in the workplace.

Our aim is to make equal opportunities information as accessible as possible, therefore we have established contacts across the North East which will allow you to browse this information for free.

Small Businesses know that their employees are their most valuable resource. As a valuable resource, they must be retained in order to stay competitive.

As an employer you must act within the law in order to avoid discriminating against your employees. Industrial Tribunal cases can not only be expensive in terms of compensation costs but in terms of bad publicity, bad feeling amongst customers and bad feeling amongst your employees.

Greater commitment can be achieved from a work force that trusts its employer and receives supportive treatment. For a deeper look at our broad range of services, please visit our website, or call on 0191 492 1333 or
