The new legislation coming into force in April 2007 will require public authorities and those providing goods or services to the public sector to eliminate sex discrimination and demonstrate promotion of gender equality.

Our training is for built environment professionals- architects, designers, planners, engineers, surveyors- and will give participants an awareness of what the legislation will require & what changes they can make in order to comply.

Equal Opportunities Commission Chair Jenny Watson supports our training:

"Most women still have very different life experiences from men - the built environment looks very different if you're accompanied by small children and trying to juggle both pushing a buggy and carrying shopping bags. How our towns and cities are designed and managed has a great impact on all our lives, so it is critical that architects, planners, engineers and surveyors gain a sound understanding of gender equality. Training is a great way for built environment professionals to get to grips with new tools which can only improve the effectiveness of their work."

Our trainer will come to you for groups of up to 10, or you can come to our central London venue.
