Employing Migrant Workers – Developing Best Practice

The next Equality Network Seminar will be held on Wednesday 3 May 2006 in Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, Oxford Island, Craigavon. This half day event will focus practical guidance for councils on employing migrant workers.

She will also highlight other aspects of the Equality Commission's work in this area.
