Equalities
Here are policies and checklists to ensure that all our work with children and young people offers equality of opportunity.
This policy statement from Britain Yearly Meeting Trustees (minute 5/09/10) applies to all centrally managed work and provides the starting point for incorporating equal opportunties in centrally managed work with children and young people.
"Britain Yearly Meeting is firmly committed to the principle of equality and to creating a working and service environment in which all employees, committee members, volunteers, Friends and other users of our buildings and services are treated with dignity and are free from unlawful discrimination, victimisation or harassment on the grounds of: gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, nationality, national origin, class, disability, sexual orientation, religion, appearance or age. We oppose all forms of discrimination and prejudice that disrespect the individual."
This checklist, as with all these policies, procedures and guidance can be adapted for use in other settings. If you are using these for another event, such as a link group or regional Quaker event you should ensure that you meet the requirements of insurers, venues and your own organisation.
