Additional sessions for pilot Communities of Practice

In July 2021, the Commission funded the Action for Gender Equality Partnership to deliver pilot Communities of Practice (CoPs) to support implementation of the Gender Equality Act 2020. These CoPs will be delivered over a 6-month period and will target defined entities in the following sectors and geographic locations:

• Sports and Recreation
