Equal opportunities and diversity

St Christopher's values and respects the diversity of its staff, the users of its services and those with whom it does business. It is recognised that certain groups and individuals in society can be discriminated against and that discrimination can be direct or indirect and can take place at the personal as well as the institutional level. St Christopher's strongly believes that such discrimination is wrong and is committed to ensuring that its policies and practices provide for equal treatment.

St Christopher's will not discriminate either in employment, service delivery or in choosing partners, contractors and consultants on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy, colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion or belief. St. Christopher's will endeavour to make any reasonable adjustments to overcome barriers to employment or the using of its services caused by disability. It is recognised that disability takes many forms, including sensory, physical and mental health impairments, thus there needs to be a range of ways of making sure that disabled people have access to jobs and services.

Adherence to St Christopher's Promoting Equality of Opportunity and Diversity policy is a condition of service for staff, volunteers, contractors, consultants and trustees.
