RS2010 response from One North West
4 March 2010
One North West (1NW), the regional Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Network, held seven consultation events on Part One of the Regional Strategy (RS2010) in order to ensure an input from the BME Third Sector in the development of RS2010. The consultation process involved the participation of 155 people and the representation of 93 BME Third Sector organisations from across the North West.
1NW focused on Part 3 of RS2010, around plans to ‘Release the potential of our people and tackle poverty’. Participants discussed barriers to employment, skills and enterprise opportunities and what issues existed around access and gaps. Following this they were asked to think about potential solutions that could be recommended and then looked at ‘Building on Our Strong Tradition of Social Enterprise’ and 'Social Exclusion'.
The participation of these BME Third Sector Organisations provides a unique insight into RS2010 that is based on the expertise, knowledge and experience of people working within BME communities in the North West
