In the current climate local authorities face unique challenges. One of these is balancing the need for economy whilst ensuring the principles of equality remain integral to all activities. Today’s local authorities are not just providers of services, they are agents for social change.

At brap we care passionately about fairness. Because we care, we have developed the resources to help local authorities not just meet their obligations to equality and engagement, but ensure they get value for money and develop services that meet the aspirations and needs of all users.

Here's some of the ways we can help...

Community engagement, consultation and networking
With the new duty to involve it is vital you can respond effectively. Our range of services, which can be designed on a bespoke basis, will help you identify, review and improve everything relating to your community engagement strategies.

Responsive services for all
Are all your departments delivering the same level of equality? With brap’s innovative package you can use Equality Impact Assessments to understand the effect of service provision on different communities and get expert guidance on which targets each individual department should be aiming for.

Creating a modern workforce
Benefit from employees who have all the necessary skills, knowledge and sensitivity to comply with your commitments to equality through our bespoke packages of learning and development. They include one to one mentoring programmes for leaders as well as seminars and workshops.

Knowing your workforce

Through friendly, relaxed interviews with your managers and staff we can supply you with a genuine insight into your organisation’s approach to equality. Along with this goes expert guidance on positive action for your workforce, plus pay audits, advice on harassment and recruitment policies, plus scoping surveys of your local labour market.
