DLR briefing paper
Communities and Local Government (CLG) published its Discrimination Law Review (DLR), 'A Framework for Fairness: Proposals for a single Equality Bill for Great Britain', as a consultation paper in June 2007. The timetable for this consultation runs from June 2007 to 4th September 2007. RAISE is keen to develop a response from its members and wider stakeholders and have prepared a briefing paper that offers you the headlines from the CLG Discrimination Law Review document with some of the key questions that CLG are seeking answers and comments to. Please send any responses to RAISE by 20th August 2007.

RAISE response to the Third Sector Strategy for Communities and Local Government
RAISE welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Review of the Third Sector Strategy for Communities and Local Government. Due to the timing of the consultation falling over the holiday period it has been difficult to engage our members extensively. However we have received some feedback and thoughts which are included in this response from RAISE.

Regional Housing Statement - RAISE response
Weve just got our copy of The South East Regional Housing Statement 2002 2005 (Building Consensus A Framework for Action). The Statement has been jointly produced by GOSE and the Housing Corporation South East, in consultation with the South East Regional Housing Forum, the Regional Assembly, SEEDA and, it is claimed, a wide range of other key external partners with a housing interest. The Statement aims to develop a shared understanding of the housing issues facing the South East and to help to build a consensus about how we might best tackle these issues

Report for Capacitybuilders on Priority needs for infrastructure support in Voluntary/Community Sector sub-sectors in the South East
RAISE has undertaken new research and collated previous evidence to build a clear picture of infrastructure support needs among the voluntary/community sector (VCS) sub-sectors in the South East. Although the primary focus was a regional one, we canvassed views at a local level too in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding. It has to be remembered that respondents are all likely to be affected by a certain degree of subjectivity but there is quite a lot of similarity in terms of what has been identified as the priorities of need at both a local and regional level. The following summary highlights some main points and attempts to answer many of the original questions posed.

Response to the South East England Health Strategy draft for discussion
RAISE welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Regional Health Strategy and is pleased that the South East now has a regional strategy for health to sit alongside the South East Plan (the regional spatial strategy), the Regional Economic Strategy (RES) and within the Regional Sustainability Framework. However we are disappointed that the strategy was not formally consulted on for a 12 week period in line with the Compact1 between the Government and the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS). We are also seriously concerned that the strategy makes no mention of the VCS* who will have a crucial role to play in its implementation.

SEEDA delivering in partnership - RAISE response
SEEDA’s consulted on how it should work with partners to deliver programmes under ‘single pot’, successor to Single Regeneration Bid. We welcome the thrust of their proposals but question the details. How will larger, more strategic partnerships be rooted in communities? And how will they work in an inclusive way and not with the usual suspects?
