The Exemplar Employer Report
The Exemplar Employer Initiative was launched in September
2006 - and with the help of Opportunity Now - we have identified
113 exemplar employers that are committed to demonstrating
innovative ways of tackling the underlying causes of the gender
pay gap.
The report also provides a list of best practice actions
focussing on Equal Pay, Flexible Working, Occupational
Segregation, Training and Development, and Women Returners to
Work (after childbirth).
The Guardian's Work supplement (Saturday 15th March 2008)
highlighted the report on its front page - and the full report
is now on the Opportunity Now website (from Monday 17th March
2008). Click

Equality Assessment Toolkit for Local Area Agreements
This document is intended to
provide a basic set of challenging questions that will assist Local
Strategic Partnerships to assess the extent to which equality issues
are being considered and appropriately reflected in a Local Area
Agreement. It incorporates key lessons learnt and the best practice
principles gathered in the recent review ("Promoting Race Equality
and Community Cohesion through Local Area Agreements") which the
Commission for Racial Equality (West Midlands Hub) and Race Equality
West Midlands undertook in association with the Government Office
for the West Midlands. Please click

Equality and Diversity in LAAs: An Aide Memoir for Locality
Managers
The Local Government White Paper "Strong and
Prosperous Communities" published in October 2006 set out the
arrangements for delivering new Local Area Agreements (LAAs).
LAAs are intended to simplify central funding to local authorities,
help join-up public services more effectively and allow much greater
flexibility for local solutions to local circumstances. They
will set out the priorities for a local area that are agreed with
central government, the local authority and other key partners at
the local level. Informed consideration of equalities as part
of this process is essential if no group or place is to be left
behind. This document, developed jointly by the Government
Equalities Office and the Government Office Network, is an aide
memoir for locality managers in Government Offices to use when
considering LAAs from an equalities perspective. Please

Women Not For Sale
The report Women Not For Sale sets out findings
from research commissioned to establish the scale of advertising of
women and services offered by women in personal classifieds in the
English regional and local press. The research found that the
advertising of women, either discreetly or overtly, for sex or
sexual services in the regional press is commonplace.
Typically, these advertisements are sandwiched between innocuous
advertisements for other services and goods. For more information,
