Welcome to HELP
The Health Equality Library Portal is NHS North West's central repository for up-to-date equality and diversity information. Its purpose is to:
- support the production of effective evidence based equality analyses of all strategies, policies, plans or activities
- identify knowledge and evidence gaps
- share best practice and policy material and prevent unnecessary duplication of effort
- support equality and diversity leads in their roles
HELP is also the home for our two historical exhibition resources. Click here to view the BME Timeline and the LGBT Timeline.
British Sign Language versions of the BME Timeline Videos and of the LGBT film Rainbow voices are now available on HELP.
You can follow the updates made to HELP by following us on twitter at http://twitter.com/nhsnwhelp
To request our monthly Equality & Diversity newsletter, email us on equalityanddiversity@northwest.nhs.uk.
NHS North West staff will also find useful resources on our sister eWin site.
eWin is the Workforce Information Network.
