The Rainbow Alliance is a group of representatives from different agencies across the north east who want to raise awareness and improve responses for LGBT+ staff and/or clients in their agencies or organisations. We continue to highlight and support improvement for victims of same sex domestic/sexual violence and hate crime and bullying through education and training. We have a Rainbow Alliance Ally award for agencies who are assessed as fully committed to LGBT+ equality and inclusion.
