Working with everybody
|
BTCV sets high standards of behaviour for our staff and volunteers. Our Equal Opportunities Policyis designed to ensure that everybody feels valued and safe. BTCV does not tolerate any inappropriate behaviour from staff or volunteers. Conservation is positive, it makes no distinctions and knows no boundaries. As an organisation BTCV welcomes people from all backgrounds whether their interest is to volunteer, participate on a training course, join our staff or make a donation. We want to be an inclusive organisation. Everyone has a responsibility to work towards Equal Opportunities. Like Health & Safety, it is not an option – it is policy. Our experience of Environments for All Environments for All is a programme which BTCV ran from 2001-2004 working with diverse communities across the UK. As a result we were able to engage with many people who may not have otherwise found a way to enjoy their local environment. The lessons learned from this programme are included in Environments for All, the BTCV Guide for Community Action published in 2005, which is the essential guide to working with different communities. |
