Making Equality A Reality

Apr 15 2008 By The Journal

THE North East Equality Awards are back! On Friday, September 19, employers from across the region will have the opportunity to celebrate their achievements and share best practice - and you could be amongst them.

This event recognises the regional employers that are carrying out good equality and diversity practices and what's more, reaping the business benefits of that good practice.

This year's awards sees more categories, more sponsors and expects - yet again - record-breaking applications. There should be a category that suits your organisation whatever its size! We are constantly looking for people who have made a difference and those who have strived to make equality a reality.

To nominate or apply or for information regarding any aspect of the awards, please contact the awards team on (0191) 495 6262 or e-mail awards@equality-ne.co.uk or visit www.equality-ne.co.uk/awards Closing dates for entries is Monday, June 30.
