In September we will be focussing on the West of Scotland Regional Equality Council (WSREC) and their work in promoting the Mainstreaming Anti-Sectarianism in Equalities Toolkit. 

The toolkit is predominantly intended for public and third sector agencies to assist them in mainstreaming anti-sectarianism within their current practices to meet the requirements of the Equality Act (2010) and the Public Sector Equality Duty.

The purpose of the toolkit is to promote a greater understanding of sectarianism as an intersectional equality issue at both policy and community delivery levels; and translate these issues into matters of interest and concern for both statutory and voluntary agencies within Scotland.

The toolkit aims to provide:

• rich, qualitative materials to use for inclusive intra-Christian anti-sectarianism training;

• specific methodological guidelines and considerations;

• guidelines to align anti-sectarianism activities within wider equalities work;

• advice on removing current barriers or difficulties to mainstreaming in the existing equalities frameworks of Scottish local authorities;

• advice on clear pathways to mainstreaming for Scottish local authorities, equalities and community development projects; and

• learning resources; resource guides; and recommendations for policy and practice.

The following resources are available to download as part of WSREC's Month of Action:
