Equality, diversity and inclusion ensures fair treatment and opportunity for all.
Some differences are protected by law, others are not, but in the IAM Roadsmart Forth
Valley Group (FVG) we commit to embrace all differences.
The following are the legal protected characteristics, under The Equality Act 2010:
What is Equality?
Equality is ensuring that individuals, or groups of individuals, are treated fairly and equally and no less favourably because of these differences.
What is Diversity?
Diversity is about valuing the range and differences of people in our group.
What is Inclusion?
Inclusion is a sense of belonging. We aim to recognise, respect and value people’s differences to contribute and realise their potential by feeling involved and part of our group.
Our Commitment
Members and volunteers of FVG are committed to treating all people with dignity and respect, and preventing discrimination on grounds of the legally protected characteristics, gender identity, caring responsibilities and social class.
Unacceptable behaviours include:
Our Aim
In prioritising the goal of equality of opportunity for all, FVG will take positive action in providing opportunities for all group members and volunteers to contribute to, and benefit from, our group decision making and implementation, and to access the facilities and services we offer.
