Get in touchWhat We Do
Dorset Race Equality Council offers information, advice and advocacy to people who have experienced discrimination or abuse on account of their race or religion. This service is free at the point of access and open to all residents living in Bournemouth, Poole or Dorset.
We also offer a third-party reporting service for the victims of hate crime or hate incidents, who may not wish to go directly to the Police. This enables us to ensure that victims have access to appropriate support and, if they wish for us to do so, we can pass on valuable information to the Police, whilst protecting the victim’s anonymity.
Dorset Race Equality Council works in partnership with public, private and voluntary agencies to share knowledge, experiences and to collaborate on projects to best meet the needs of the various ethnic community groups who live in the local area.
We offer input into the delivery of key public services such as health and social care, policing (amongst others) to promote cultural sensitivity, inclusion and equal opportunities.
We offer interactive training in unconscious bias, cultural awareness, what is discrimination and how to tackle it.
We can support local agencies with the writing and implementation of Equality Impact Assessments. We can also check Equality Impact Assessments and act as a critical friend.
We offer Equality and Diversity Health Checks and provide a full report on how an organisation can improve their Equality and Diversity policies and procedures.
Dorset Race Equality Council provides information, advice and guidance to new and existing Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community groups and people. We encourage local individuals to get involved in their community and celebrate different cultures. We also organise and attend a broad range of events and forums that enable us to promote equality, diversity and inclusion and listen to what the public has to say about these issues.
