LLUK and equality and diversity

Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK) plays an active part in a range of influential groups within the sector, which promote equality and diversity.

  • Workforce Race Advisory Group
    The Workforce Race Advisory Group (WRAG) grew out of the Commission for Black Staff in Further Education as an advisory body for the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). LLUK is a member of WRAG and provides the secretariat for WRAG on behalf of the sector.
  • Commission on Disabled Staff in Lifelong Learning
    This Commission aims to investigate and report on the current practices in the employment of disabled people. As an independent body it reports its findings to the public, the government, training providers, unions and lifelong learning employers and staff. The Commission first met in March 2007 and will run until January 2008. LLUK is an active member of this Commission.
  • Women's Leadership Network
    The Women's Leadership Network, supported by the Centre for Excellence in Leadership, was launched at the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 May 2007. The network is for women who hold or aspire to leadership roles in further education and is chaired by Sally Dicketts, Principal of Oxford and Cherwell Valley College. LLUK is a member of the network.
