The Action 3 Steering Group was set up to provide strategic direction to the Action 3 phase of the Equal Brighton & Hove programme. The role of the Steering Group was to oversee the research programme; advise on progress and emerging recommendations; and oversee the development and implementation of a dissemination and mainstreaming strategy to ensure a co-ordinated approach and to maximise contribution from key stakeholders.

The group also had a critical role in ensuring service user involvement at all stages of research and dissemination, and to ensure that equality and empowerment principles were adhered to by all involved in the Action 3 phase of the programme.

The Group’s membership was drawn from the City Council, the Institute of Employment Studies, Sussex Learning and Skills Council, NIACE and representatives from local projects including Employer Engagement, Working Together and Impact Initiatives.
