Key Objective 3 “We will contribute to a focus on equality considerations within the private and public sectors and across society.” Equality Authority, Strategic Plan 2000-2002
Key Objective 3 This objective is achieved by four distinct means: 1 Mainstreaming equality issues in the public and private sectors A) Equality Reviews and Action Plans The National Development Plan 2000-2006, allocates £5 million for a project to carry out equality reviews and action plans to support equality outcomes for women in the workplace and identifies the Equality Authority as the body for developing and implementing the initiative.Throughout 2000, the priority was to develop a template to identify the employment procedures and processes to be examined by the Reviews and to provide the approach to such an examination. In May, 2000, a consultation on the content of the template was held with organisations representing all nine grounds, and separate consultations were held with IBEC and ICTU. A one-day seminar attended by 40 people representing the nine grounds and key human resource personnel from the public and private sector was held in Clontarf Castle in June 2000, to further develop the template. Criteria for the establishment of a panel of Equality Auditors to conduct these reviews was developed at the end of 2000. A number of employers who expressed particular interest in the project met with the Equality Authority and presentations were given to the following local authorities:Waterford,Wexford and Meath. In addition a workshop on Equality reviews was given to Councillors and local authority officials from over fifteen different local areas at a conference in October 2000 hosted by Offaly County Council and the Community Workers Co-operative in Tullamore. Human Resource /Personnel Officers of the Health Services Employers Association (HSEA) also convened a special meeting to hear a presentation on Equality Reviews in November, 2000.
