THE
COMMISSION FOR RACIAL EQUALITY
|
The CRE
operates very much like the EOC (see above).
It is a publicly funded body set up under the
Race Relations Act 1976 to tackle racial discrimination
and promote racial equality. It works in both
the public and private sectors to encourage fair
treatment and to promote equal opportunities
for everyone, regardless of their race, colour,
nationality, or national or ethnic origin. It
provides information and advice to people who
think they have suffered racial discrimination
or harassment. You can telephone 020 7939 0000
for personal advice, or visit www.cre.org.uk
for general information. Race Equality for Social
Landlords - guidance for the handling of harassment
and racial equality for social landlords can
be found at www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/groups/odpm_housing/documents/page/odpm_house_603873.hcsp

| LEARNING
THROUGH LANDSCAPES |
Learning through Landscapes (LTL)
campaign for children's right to decent school
grounds and help make school grounds better places.
LTL believe that many people do not understand
the importance of school grounds to children's
learning and development. But they are essential,
providing unique opportunities for healthy exercise,
creative play, and making friends; for learning
through doing; for putting children in touch with
the natural world. The LTL website deals with all
issues relating to school grounds, and is useful
for teachers, governors and local authorities.
