The Action Network is providing valuable access to training that will help to facilitate ‘job readiness’ and proactively encourage network opportunities for women working in the construction industry in the North West. It will also provide a valuable source of information for those women wishing to find out more about entering the industry.

The Action Network is and Website has been developed and is managed by CCI and is part of a wider project – The Women & Work: Sector Pathways initiative, funded by ConstructionSkills

The project aims to help get women into work in construction, but also to help women already working in the sector to get further training in order to develop their careers.

SWRDA Social Mobility Toolkit  

Within a successful society the implementation of equality and diversity is not seen as an add-on, but something integral to the effective working of any project.

Who is the Toolkit aimed at?
 
It is aimed at built environment professionals and all those involved in the commissioning, planning, design, construction and evaluation of capital build projects.

What is the Toolkit’s Purpose? 
 
This Toolkit is designed to support equality and diversity at all stages of the design and construction process for capital builds, from initial plans through to completion and building use. While the focus is on inclusive design and capital projects the principles and approaches are relevant to all types of building projects. 
 
The Toolkit is designed to make a complex set of requirements as straightforward as possible. Working through it will help fulfil statutory obligations and ensure a high quality, fully accessible capital build.
 
The aim of the Toolkit is to integrate equality and diversity within the planning and design processes and to use tools that dovetail with existing statutory or legislative requirements within capital developments.
