Our Practice

- We constantly seek to enhance our own awareness of possible areas of discrimination
- We aim to challenge in a supportive way any colleagues, employees, service providers, clients or participants whom we perceive to be using discriminatory behaviour
- We monitor our language, both spoken, written and non-verbal, for inadvertent discrimination
- We engage in developmental activities that are likely to increase our self awareness, especially in relation to diversity
This policy is subject to continual review in order to maintain its currency.
