Connect, engage and empower communities through partnership
The Plymouth Fairness Commission recommended that the city engage in a consolidated effort to generate leadership on tackling discrimination in all its forms in the city and the University's work with PDREC is a response to that recommendation.
PDREC work in partnership with statutory organisations including Plymouth Community Healthcare CIC, Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, Schools in Plymouth and Devon, Devon County Council, Plymouth City Council, Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue, the University of Plymouth, Plymouth College of Art, City College Plymouth, the University of Exeter, Plymouth Marjon University and the Crown Prosecution Service as well as voluntary organisations and local community groups. Visit the PDREC website for further details.
The benefits derived through working together for our students, staff and community include providing support for staff and students; assisting with providing links into hard to reach communities and access into schools through project work; supporting with community consultancy in the review of the equality scheme; and general race awareness training for harassment advisors to provide understanding of current local issues.
