Tender description

The Donegal CDB Peace and Reconciliation Partnership was set up in February 2008 to develop and implement the Donegal PEACE III Action Plans under Priority 1.1: Building Positive Relations at Local Level of the PEACE III Programme 2007 - 2013. In 2010 the Partnership developed its second PEACE III Action Plan for Co. Donegal. One of the main aims of the Donegal PEACE III Action Plan (2011 – 2013) is to challenge attitudes towards sectarianism and racism and the structures that support them. In order to achieve this aim, two objectives have been set as follows: (i) Raising the level of consciousness that these issues do exist in Donegal. (ii) Promoting a greater understanding of what constitutes sectarianism and racism so as to create a greater level of trust and tolerance within the county and on a cross border basis. In order to achieve these objectives, the Donegal PEACE III Action Plan identifies the need to deliver a programme of interventions to challenge sectarianism and racism in the work place. The Partnership is inviting tenders to develop and deliver a programme that will support workplaces to: · Be free from discrimination and harassment · Be welcoming to Black and minority ethnic (including Travellers) employees and service users. · Accommodate and value cultural and linguistic diversity in the workplace, and promote and support English & or Irish language acquisition. ·Take practical steps to achieve full equality of opportunity in practice.
