Description

This project comes under Light Touch Regime.

A consultant will be appointed to support the implementation of Building a Fairer London through the delivery of a programme of support for partners, hosting communities of practice discussions, providing complimentary peer support through group learning opportunities, and reporting on progress annually, so that there is measurable progress against the four priority areas.

A series of metrics to measure progress each year will be developed by appointed organisation, working in partnership with the GLA's City Intelligence Unit. Following discussions with City Intelligence Unit it is suggested that potential outcomes/indicators can be developed across the four priority areas. For example:
• Measurable progress in workforce diversity metrics for participating organisations - Labour market inequality
• Number of participating organisations reaching 'excellence' level for the 'fair pay and conditions pillar of the Mayor's Good Work Standard - Financial hardship and living standards
• Levels of trust/confidence in relevant institutions or vaccination rates for specific communities - Equity in public services
• Proportion of funding allocated to different equity led groups by public bodies - Civil Society Strength.

The appointed organisation will be expected to complete specific tasks/deliverables including to:
• Develop and deliver a communities of practice programme for each of the priority areas
• Develop and deliver group peer learning opportunities that provide support to organisations to increase understanding of structural inequalities/racism, or in monitoring the outcomes associated with addressing those specific problems and challenges. This will be measured by case studies provided by consultant
• Develop a framework including metrics to measure progress annually
• Attend governance meetings with the chair of the LRB Equalities Subgroup as agreed to allow continuous evaluation of the success of the programme
• Prepare and deliver update reports, including a annual progress report to the LRB
