two.1.4) Short description
GMCA is seeking to provide contract funding for the facilitation of our GM Equality panels.
The Greater Manchester Strategy sets out a clear ambition for "a place where all voices are heard and where, working together, we can shape our future", and this is reinforced in the principles underpinning the Greater Manchester Model Manchester Model; ‘doing with not to’. Greater Manchester covers the ten local authority areas of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan.
The Equality Panels have been established to help tackle the structural and organisational prejudice and discrimination that causes inequality and injustice in society, through the advancement of equity and fairness in decisions, policies and services across all sectors and communities.
The role of the panels is to:
• Champion Greater Manchester’s cultural heritage and history of community inclusion and social justice
• Advise the Mayor of Greater Manchester and the Greater Manchester Lead for Ageing and Equalities of the challenges and opportunities faced by people linked to their identity.
• Constructively challenge political and system leaders for tackling prejudice and discrimination within their organisations and structures
• Proactively support the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and its public, private and voluntary sector partners to develop effective solutions that tackle inequality and increase equity.
Panels do this by:
• providing insight into our diverse communities, enabling political leaders and public bodies to listen and engage with people in a more targeted and appropriate way
• communicating key messages to our communities as trusted sources
• working with public bodies to codesign more effective policy, commissioning and services with public bodies, improving outcomes for individuals, reducing inequality and preventing expenditure in other parts of the system
• supporting an asset-based approach, highlighting new opportunities (and challenges) for positive collaboration that build on the resources and strengths within our communities
Membership of the panels aims to reflect the diversity of Greater Manchester, with a broad representation across different demographics, the ten districts, and across sectors and other interests. Collectively, panel members possess strong links to the communities that they provide the voice of, through grass roots organisations and established networks. Furthermore, the Panels take an intersectional approach where appropriate, collaborating with other GM Equality Panels and networks.
The GMCA is seeking facilitating organisations for the following panels:
1. LGBTQ+ Equality Panel - Lot 1
2. Women and Girls Equality Panel - Lot 2
3. Race Equality Panel - Lot 3
4. Faith Advisory Panel - Lot 4
