Equalities & Community Cohesion Group

The  'Equalities & Community Cohesion Theme Group' aims to promote equal opportunities for all, eliminating racism, hate crime, bullying and all other forms of intolerance.  The group has representatives from Coventry City Council’s Corporate Policy Team, West Midlands Police, the Coventry Ethnic Minority Action Partnership etc.

The priorities of the group are to:

• Promote equality of opportunity for all and will work to eliminate racism, hate crime, homophobia, bullying, and other forms intolerance. 
• Develop a sense if belonging for all our communities
• Celebrate the diversity of the people and commuities of Coventry and work to ensure that this diversity is appreciated and positively valued by everyone.
• Improve communications between public services and people who need them.
• Increase people's involvement in decision-making about the city.
• Work to increase the quality and choice of local facilities and local public services including cultural and leisure opportunities.

In order to achieve this they are working towards a number of outcomes:

1. By 2010 there will be a more inclusive and cohesive city
2. By 2010 there will be less racism, hate crime, bullying and intolerance in the city.
3. By 2010 people will feel more able to influence teh qualty of local public services and facilities, including culture and leisure opportunities and they will have seen improvements most quickly for priority neighbourhoods and communities.
