No / Although the rationale for equal opportunities has been accepted within the UK public sector, there is little research
into people's aspirations and experiences of Positive Action (PA) as a means of achieving equality of opportunity during
the whole employment cycle. A research project was carried out to explore meanings of race-, disability- and gender- related
PA initiatives and their impact on workforce diversity in Higher and Further Education and the National Health Service
in England, with the aim of developing an understanding of the concept of PA and informing good practice in the effective
use of such measures in these sectors. Using a combination of research methods including a literature review, interviews
and focus groups, the paper highlights understanding of the concept of PA as well as its practice and interpretation amongst
key stakeholders including senior managers, designers, current recipients and their peers.
