EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY STATEMENT

Volunteer Centre Dacorum believes that voluntary community involvement is an option that should be open to everyone irrespective of their background, and that everyone has the right to volunteer without experiencing discrimination.

Volunteer Centre Dacorum is committed to the principles of equality of opportunity and to the elimination of all forms of discrimination. It seeks to prevent discrimination and promote equality of opportunity in its services, employment practices, and dealings with individuals, volunteers, trustees, affiliated members and organisations. It is committed to ensuring that no individual, or group of people, is less favourably treated or denied opportunities because of: -
  • colour or race
  • ethnic / national origin
  • gender
  • marital status
  • sexual orientation / gender
  • age
  • disability
  • recovery from mental illness
  • caring responsibility
  • political allegiance
  • religious belief
  • HIV status
  • employment status
  • social or economic background
  • unrelated civil or criminal conviction

The people in the Borough of Dacorum bring varying qualities and experience to the voluntary and community sector, and VCD actively encourages participation and representation from the wide community it serves. Diversity is recognised, respected and valued.

Volunteer Centre Dacorum will work to achieve policies and practices which ensure that all individuals have their needs considered and, wherever practically appropriate, support needs provided.

Volunteer Centre Dacorum demonstrates its commitment to this policy by adopting a code of practice, which gives guidance on employment practices, volunteering, service provision and the general work of the organisation.
This code of practice is available from our offices.
