    A new quality standard for Leeds encouraging greater cultural cohesion across the city is to be officially launched.

    The new Cultural Cohesion Quality Mark (CCQM) will be launched at a special event to be held at the Civic Hall from 9am-12:30pm on Thursday 18 October, with Deputy Lieutenant for West Yorkshire David Pearson attending as guest of honour.

    Leeds City Council said the CCQM is open to all businesses, organisations and community groups to attain, and has been developed to promote harmonious relationships through working with organisations to evaluate and improve their values, behaviours and knowledge in relation to positive culturally cohesive practice.

    Leeds City Council executive member for learning, skills, employment and equality Councillor Jonathan Pryor said: “We are delighted to be launching the new Cultural Cohesion Quality Mark for Leeds, which is open to all groups, businesses, schools and organisations in Leeds to attain and we are especially grateful to have a royal representative in Deputy Lieutenant for West Yorkshire David Pearson attending.

    “Greater cultural cohesion, awareness and understanding and promoting positive relationships and respect for all is very important in tackling inequality in the city, so we would encourage as many groups and organisations in Leeds to get involved and achieve the standard.”
