In Calderdale (United Kingdom), the local authority has led the development of a social cohesion strategy, produced in consultation with the local public, under the banner of ‘everyone different, everyone matters’. This sets out a clear understanding of why the issue matters in the local area, the priorities over the next five years, what the council will be doing in terms of policy and its own internal practices, and how it will measure progress. It also stresses the importance of working in partnership with the private sector as well as charitable organisations. In this way it provides both the conceptual and practical guidance that can enable interested employers to get involved and contribute.
