Signposting content of SCIE's products and resources that is relevant to black and minority ethnic communities

One of SCIE's key objectives for 2006-09 is to address gaps and inadequacies in service provision for black and minority ethnic groups and seldom-heard groups. We want to ensure that issues of relevance or significance to black and minority ethnic groups and seldom-heard groups have been addressed by the work that we do.

As part of this commitment, we have reviewed our publications, resources and websites, and prepared a brief synopsis of each product that includes black and minority ethnic content. This summary draws out the key points of relevance to black and minority ethnic communities, and acts as a signpost for all users of SCIE's website with an interest in this area.

We hope you find this signposting useful and would appreciate any feedback you have. If this project proves successful, similar work may be carried out for other communities.
