InterConnect Action Plan
The InterConnect Action Plan (ICAP) has been developed to provide a framework for the University’s work on race equality for the period 2014-17. |
The ICAP draws on previous University initiatives including:
- The University’s Combined Equality Scheme
- The University’s Equality Objectives
- The E&D Information and Data Reports
- The findings of the InterConnect Consultations
- Previous actions agreed by the E&D Committee
- The discussion and recommendations of the InterConnect Working Group
The ICAP has identified key themes to progress during the next three years:
-
InterConnect Working Group
- Maintain the InterConnect Working Group (ICWG) , with membership that is representative of the institution and the goals of the Action Plan, chaired by the Race Equality Champion
- Continue to address race equality and issues through engagement activities
-
Governance and Senior Representation
- Seek to increase senior representation of BME and White Other staff by monitoring and responding appropriately to the data and information
-
Benchmarking
- Benchmark University practice against national and sectorial comparators with a view to consider participation in the ECU Race Equality Charter in 2016
- Assess the impact of key procedures and indicators by ethnicity and nationality, including recruitment, contributory point awards and student attainment by undertaking EAAs
-
Intercultural Awareness
- Seek to improve institutional intercultural awareness to support inclusive practice for staff and students through the development of guidance, information resources and appropriate training.
