We aim to promote equal opportunities, eliminate discrimination and eliminate harassment through the following:
All staff, children, parents and members of associated organisations will be treated fairly and with respect.
Attendance at Shake will be open to all.
Selection for employment will be on the basis of aptitude and ability.
All staff and children will be helped and encouraged to develop to their full potential.
All staff have a legal and moral obligation not to discriminate and should report incidents of alleged discrimination against any individual or group of individuals to the Designated Safeguarding Lead. (Rachel King).
Our commitment:
To create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all our staff and children are recognised and valued.
Every member of staff, child and parent is entitled to be part of an environment that promotes dignity and respect to all. No form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated.
Breaches of our equality policy will be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings, termination of employment or exclusion from Shake.
The policy will be monitored and reviewed regularly. The successful implementation of this policy depends on the awareness and commitment of all staff, parents and children. A copy of this policy will be easily accessed via our website.
