Unit 3: Working or Learning in a Place that Promotes Diversity
1. In relation to your chosen workplace / place of learning, provide examples of policies / codes of conduct that encourage and / or protect equality and diversity.
The organisation in which the policy and information are taken from is called Framework. They are a registered charity which support and help the homeless. I have been volunteering here for a few weeks.
The organisation has one policy on equality and diversity for all staff. Their policy includes details of:
• Employment
• Race
• Religion
• Gender
• Sexuality
• Disability
• Age
The policy statement lists their commitments to equality and diversity and how they want to be as an organisation. These are:
• Develop services to achieve equality and diversity in all its activities
• Aims to have a workforce that generally reflects the local population
• Aims to offer services to the diverse client group that exists in the areas it serves
• Understands how valuing diversity can improve our ability to deliver better services
• Actively consults with all our service users to ensure that services which are provided
• are responsive and reflect the diversity of need
• Provides all employees with the training and development they need to enable them
• to achieve organisational goals
• Challenges society’s attitude towards our client group
The organisation aims to ensure the policy is applied fully, fairly and consistently throughout the organisation. The organisation also recognises that everybody is different and an individual and states everybody must be treated with dignity and respect. Finally the organisation policy states they will take action to address discrimination and to promote and achieve diversity in employment and service.
2. In relation to your chosen workplace / place of learning, describe what is expected of members of staff who have specific responsibility for equality and diversity. Include information about their job titles and describe their responsibilities.
