Equality and Human Rights Work

Galway City Community Network has worked with partners, Galway City Partnership and the Galway City Local Community Development Committee as members of a consortium in Galway City that has been working on equality and human rights and the public sector duty for a number of years. The consortium initially produced an Equality and Human Rights Statement and subsequently, with the support of IHREC, produced the toolkit, realising Potential: Public Sector Equality and Human rights Duty Implementation Manual.
