What is the Dashboard?
The DRE Dashboard is a tool which is designed to support the measurement of key priorities within race equality and mental health. We are moving towards developing an equalities based version
Why is the tool called the Dashboard?
The Dashboard concept arose from the idea of a car dashboard -the dials on a Dashboard indicates how far you have travelled, speed of travel and potential risks (e.g. low fuel, high temperatures etc). In the case of DRE, the Dashboard is designed as a framework which supports NHS organisations (the Department of Health, Strategic Health Authorities, Primary Care Trusts, Mental Health Trusts and provider organisations) to:
- Track their progress on Race Equality in Mental Health at a local and regional level.
- Contribute to national data around the 6 priority areas
- Measure the pace of change and identify areas for improvement
How can I use the Dashboard?
Many of the indicators on the Dashboard highlight the basic data need to measure progress on race equality. In many cases they highlight the importance of ethnic monitoring in a particular part of the service, in others they focus on the importance of equal access.
