A series of good practice guides, our 'Action for Change' are available from the Equal Opportunities Commission website and also through the links provided below.  These are aimed at a range of key stakeholders including Learning and Skills Councils, training providers, employers, careers advice professionals and teachers, and those involved in work-related learning.

The guides give practical, straight-forward advice specific to each audience on opening up non-traditional opportunities for women and men.  The advice is backed up by real life case studies illustrating how others have broken down gender barriers in vocational education, training and work.
