This is an introduction to what a human rights and equalities approach means for third sector boards and committees. It’s for people who have a say, or give advice and support, on how boards or committees are run: trustees, board or committee members, managers, capacity building officers etc. – and will provide you with the tools you need to integrate human rights and equalities into the work of boards and committees.
The main session runs for 2 hours, with an optional 30-minute clinic for those wanting tailored advice and support from our session faciliators.
Join THRE to learn:
About human rights and equalities - what are they, and why do they matter?
What a human rights and equalities first approach is and why it is relevant to your board.
How to apply this approach to your board’s recruitment and culture.
