Inclusivity Statement

We value people

At the AoEC, we are committed to fostering an environment of inclusivity, respect, and diversity. We believe that everyone, regardless of background, identity, or abilities, deserves to feel welcome and valued. Our goal is to create a space where all individuals can thrive and contribute to our community.

Our commitment to inclusivity:

  1. Respect and Dignity: We are dedicated to treating every person with respect and dignity. While we aim to eliminate discrimination, harassment, and exclusion, we are continually reviewing and improving our practices to ensure this.
  2. Diverse Voices: We are working to better celebrate and encourage diversity in all its forms. Our goal is to actively seek out and amplify voices from different cultures, races, genders, sexual orientations, religion or belief, abilities, and perspectives as we develop our inclusivity efforts.
  3. Accessibility: We are striving to improve the accessibility of our website and services. We are committed to continuously enhancing our features to make sure individuals with disabilities can engage with our content and offerings with ease.
  4. Safe Environment: We are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment. We are developing and updating policies and procedures to ensure that any concerns or incidents are addressed in a timely and effective manner.
  5. Ongoing Education: We recognise the importance of ongoing education and awareness. We are working on providing more resources and training to our team to foster understanding and empathy, equipping them to better support an inclusive community.
  6. Community Engagement: We value the input and feedback from our clients and wider community. We are committed to open dialogue and are always looking for ways to improve our inclusivity efforts based on your suggestions.

Working Together for Inclusivity:

We invite everyone - whether a visitor, customer, team member, or partner - to contribute to our journey towards a more inclusive environment. Your participation, feedback, and collaboration are vital in helping us build and sustain a truly inclusive community.
