Equality and Diversity Statement

Fitzrovia Youth in Action (FYA) aims to improve the conditions of the young people of our local area by providing an appropriate learning experience for all young people, whatever their race, colour, culture, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, marital status, caring responsibilities, sexual orientation, class, disability, age and religious belief. FYA aims to provide young people with the opportunity to take part in activities in an environment free of prejudice.
 

Valuing diversity, equality, fair treatment and social inclusion lies at the heart of our organisation and in all aspects of our work. FYA rejects all forms of discrimination on grounds of race, colour, culture, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, marital status, caring responsibilities, sexual orientation, class, disability, age and religious belief.

 

It is FYA’s policy to work to address inequalities, eliminate discrimination and promote equal opportunities and diversity. FYA’s policy applies to the recruitment and treatment of staff as well as to providing and procuring goods and services.
 

This policy has been developed to ensure that, as an employer, we take positive action to combat all direct and indirect discrimination and, as a service provider, we make our services available and welcoming to all, irrespective of their status.
 

All FYA’s staff are responsible for ensuring that they comply with this Framework and to ensure that their conduct with young people and colleagues reflects this responsibility at all times.
 

The Equality Opportunities (EO) Lead for the organisation is the Chief Executive Officer, Andre Schott. The EO Lead has responsibility, along with the Office Manager, for organising appropriate training.
