Local Anti- Racism and Diversity Plans (ARD Plans) / Integration Plans
What is an ARD Plan?
The importance communities play in promoting integration cannot be overestimated. Under the National Action Plan Against Racism 2005-2008, funding was provided to a number of Local Authorities towards the development of Anti-Racism and Diversity Plans (ARDs).The purpose of the ARD Plans was to foster a coordinated approach at local city/ county level towards the planning, development and implementation of anti-racism and integration strategies. The importance of allowing adequate flexibility to suit local circumstances was stressed. A partnership approach was encouraged in that local authorities, key service providers, local development agencies, and community groups representing and working with minority ethnic groups, social partner bodies should be involved in the steering group and should have a role in developing and implementing such plans. Anti racism and diversity plans as well as integration Plans continue to be developed by local authotities who a have a substantial number of migrants in their areas. [
Who has developed ARD Plans?
To date - a number of 'Anti-Racism and Diversity’ plans have been developed.Action Strategies have been developed by the Dublin Inner City Partnership and Fingal County Council.
