The focus of the final phase of the Equal Brighton & Hove programme, Action 3, is on influencing policy and practice at both national and local levels with regard to the exclusion of particular social groups from training and employment.

Action 3 builds on the research expertise amongst Brighton and Sussex Universities and the key messages identified by the Equal Core Team to identify good practice in local projects and partnerships; to disseminate this as widely as possible; and to mainstream these approaches to influence strategy, policy and practice locally, regionally, nationally and across the EU.
