The Equality Engagement Group acts as a first point of
contact between the Council, Planning Partners and local
equality groups and helps influence the development of policies in
relation to equality.
The Group was established in late 2008, and subsumed the work of
the former Ethnic Minority Liaison Committee and the Equality and
Diversity Partnership. Meetings take place on a quarterly
basis and involve the following organisations:
- Citizens' Advice Bureau
- Community Care and Health Partnership
- ED Council for Voluntary Services
- ED Campus of Further and Higher Education
- Strathclyde Police
- East Dunbartonshire Access Panel
- East Dunbartonshire Youth Senate
- Kirkintilloch and District Seniors Forum
- LGBT Youth Scotland
- East Dunbartonshire Multi-Agency Domestic Abuse and Violence
Against Women Partnership (MAP)
- Minority Ethnic Forum in East Dunbartonshire
The Scottish Interfaith Council has also agreed to provide
information on an ad hoc basis on issues in relation to religion
and belief.
