At UKROEd, we are committed to promoting racial equality and creating an inclusive and equitable organisation where everyone is treated with dignity, fairness and respect.
We oppose all forms of racism, racial discrimination and exclusionary behaviour. We recognise that racism and discrimination can affect people in different ways and may create barriers to inclusion, opportunity and fair treatment. This statement applies to everyone who works for, represents or engages with UKROEd in any capacity, including employees and associates.
Our pledge
We are committed to :
- fostering an environment where people feel valued, respected and included;
- encouraging a culture where people feel safe, heard and supported when raising concerns or challenging racism and discrimination;
- listening to and learning from the experiences and perspectives of others;
- treating concerns seriously and taking appropriate action where racism, discrimination or exclusionary behaviour is identified;
- acting with integrity, fairness and accountability in our decisions, behaviours and interactions; and
- continuing to reflect, learn and improve as an organisation.
Where concerns are raised or mistakes are identified, we will listen, learn and take appropriate action to support improvement and accountability.
