Strengthening and developing local BME forums

 

Our aim is to strengthen local BME groups and build their capacity so that they can have a positive impact and influence on their LSP.

This includes supporting existing BME forums and helping to create new BME forums where they do not exist. It is vital for local BME forums to understand the potential and importance of the LSP structure and decision making process, as they are at the heart of tackling racial inequalities locally, particularly in relation to education and employment. Using BTEG's methodology which has been successful, we will analyse the local area agreement, work with the local CVS which is often the third sector representative on the LSP board, and then organise workshops to inform and engage local BME groups about the LSP/LAA. Another aim of this programme is to enable at least 12 local BME forums to network and share experience through the website, therefore learning from each other. We want to further develop our website so that there is a practical resource for local BME forums, i.e. statistical equalities information, examples of good practice from other BME forums, lists of speakers, etc.
