Capacity-building initiatives in the third sector have enabled organisations to take a greater role in partnership approaches, service delivery and social entrepreneurship. However, academics have argued that such initiatives are more likely to serve the interests of professionalised welfare groups rather than engage with communities' own skills and interests. This study, drawing on in-depth individual interviews and case studies with 19 individuals engaged in minority ethnic organisations in devolved Scotland, suggests that 'capacity' is a socially constructed, negotiated process, which benefits some organisations more than others. While there was a consensus among participants that such activities played a useful role in developing organisational capacity, the authors concluded that the responsibility for addressing structural factors, including socio-economic disadvantage and racism, remains with government.

This briefing paper provides evidence on the experiences of black and minority ethnic people and organisations accessing mainstream homeless providers. Key messages suggest that black and minority ethnic and mainstream homelessness organisations should address the significant barriers faced by black and minority ethnic communities in accessing homelessness services. Improvements could be made by forging stronger links between black and minority ethnic and mainstream homelessness organisations; increase awareness of homelessness services among these communities, widen access to early intervention, maintain ongoing support to vulnerable individuals and inform policy development. Section include: addressing homelessness in the UK; difficulties in accessing services; nature and patterns of service provision; need for links between agencies; and practice points for future joint working.

Migration, ethnicity and progression from low-paid work: implications for skills policy

Migration plays an important role in determining skills supply, and certain ethnic groups tend to be over-represented in low-paid work. This article considers the implications of the complex interplay of migration, ethnicity and workplace progression for skills policy by comparing and contrasting the opportunities faced by low-paid workers of diverse ethnicities in progressing to better paid work. This is done by drawing on a qualitative study of nine case study organisations in Scotland and England, including interviews with sixty-five workers and forty-three managers. Findings report on the educational background and career aspirations of low-paid workers, factors enabling progression in the workplace and barriers to career progression, The authors argue that while all low-paid workers face formidable barriers to progression, recent migrants and settled ethnic minorities face additional challenges that should be considered in skills and wider social policies related to low-paid work.
