Reducing Inequalities: Getting Results Flagship Training Programme

This programme aims to strengthen capacity in organizations to understand and reduce inequalities. The programme has been designed to develop a network of professionals with capacity to support effective collaboration across organizations from the public, community and voluntary sector. It provides a platform to explore recent developments in the field of inequalities, including evidence and information required to define the issues and tools and approaches available to support action.

The Reducing Inequalities: Getting Results programme has been facilitated annually for the last 3 years.  

The training took place in Derry and Strabane in 2019 in partnership with Developing Healthy Communities.  The 4 modules were delivered to 16 particpants from the Derry and Strabane area and beyond.  More details can be found here.

In 2018 the programme, which was held in Antrim, had 25 participants from a range of organisations.  Comprising again of the 4 modules, took participants from the identification and definition of inequality through to the types of successful interventions from across the World Health Organization (WHO) European Healthy Cities Network which can be transferred locally. More details here.

In 2017 the training took place in Belfast with 24 participants from a range of statutory, voluntary and community organisations.  Comprising of 4 modules, the programme provided a platform to explore the most recent developments, and enable participants to reflect on their specific role and the capacity and knowledge of their organisation to influence the magnitude of ‘striking’ inequalities.
