‘NEtWorking for Change’ has undergone some exciting developments with the networks being renamed ‘ConNEcting for Change’ (CfC). We believe this better describes the more pro-active nature of the newly developed network activity. The networks will continue to be a cross-strand and cross-sector mechanism which can help facilitate access by those who face disadvantage to those who influence and make change. The aim is to “improve economic inclusion for minority and disadvantage groups by identifying and addressing barriers within employment and entry to employment and training”.

Working with our partners in the Third, Private and Public Sectors we will continue to further develop membership across all sectors with particular emphasis on the Private and Third Sectors and take some real steps to ensure that people who face barriers have positive connections with those who can work towards removing them.

‘ConNEcting for Change’ members will:

• Be able to advertise their job vacancies on Equality North East’s recruitment page
• Receive the weekly news alert and quarterly newsletter
• Have access to the downloadable resources on the site
• Have an opportunity to join specific working groups on 'strand' related issues
• Be able to feed into the North East Equality and Diversity Partnership through the reference group
• Be able to consult with minority groups both online and through 'live' events.
