Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Respect is at the heart of CRI’s values as an organisation, and the themes of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are central to everything we do.

CRI are committed to creating an inclusive environment which celebrates difference and allows our staff and service users to flourish. We recruit the very best staff from a wide range of backgrounds, ensuring service users benefit from our diverse skills and expertise. We always work to the principles of fairness and equality of opportunity in all our recruitment processes.

We work hard to ensure that our services always offer excellent standards and are accessible to everyone who needs them, irrespective of their:

• age
• gender
• race or ethnicity
• disability
• sexual orientation
• religion or belief
• marital or civil partnership status
• gender reassignment
• pregnancy or maternity
• current or previous offences
• socio-economic status.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group

Our Working Group makes sure that we consider the diverse needs of all our service users, employees, volunteers and partners in the day-to-day activity of CRI.

Inclusion Champions

We promote equality, diversity and inclusion across CRI through our network of Inclusion Champions. They work throughout the organisation to share EDI best practice and make sure every area of CRI's work has fairness at its heart. They actively help everyone at CRI to understand and apply all the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion.

CRI is proud to hold Stonewall Diversity Champion status, and to be listed on Stonewall’s Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual Careers Guide, Starting Out.
