Commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

​

MANIFESTO

​

1. Take ownership of our commitment to equity, equality, diversity and inclusion

In today's interconnected world, the strength of our community and the success of our endeavours depend on our ability to embrace diversity and foster inclusion. We recognise that inclusion is not merely a goal, but a continuous journey of growth, learning, and intentional action. We acknowledge the historical and systemic barriers that have excluded marginalised voices and understand the importance of actively working to dismantle these barriers.

 

Our commitment to inclusion is unwavering. We are ready to listen, learn, and take meaningful action as we strive to create a more inclusive and equitable world for all.

​

2. Build accountability through meaningful collaborations and co-production with networks and marginalised communities

We are dedicated to being allies and advocates for change within our communities. We commit to using our platform and resources to uplift underrepresented voices and to collaborate with organisations and individuals who share our vision for a more inclusive society.

​

3. Move beyond representation to work towards an inclusive culture

We commit to cultivating an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and heard. We will prioritise diverse perspectives in our decision-making processes, ensuring that all voices contribute to the direction and success of our organisation. We pledge to provide opportunities for professional development, mentorship, and leadership that reflect our commitment to equity and inclusion.

​

4. Accept the longevity and risk involved in meaningful pursuit of diversity and inclusion through open and transparent sharing

We are committed to transparency throughout this process, openly sharing our progress, setbacks, and learnings along the way. By maintaining open lines of communication, we aim to build trust and accountability within our organisation and with the communities we serve.

​

We pledge to remain steadfast in this journey, fully aware of the longevity and complexity it entails, and we invite others to join us in this important work. Together, through open and transparent sharing, we can create the lasting change we all seek.

​

5. Act with integrity through the investment of time, energy and resources in equitable representation

Acting with integrity means aligning our values with our actions, and we understand that achieving equitable representation requires a genuine and sustained investment of time, energy, and resources.

​

Equally, we recognise that equitable representation is not a box to be checked, but a continuous endeavour that demands ongoing effort and reflection. We will regularly assess our progress and hold ourselves accountable to the goals we set, ensuring that our actions are consistent with our commitment to integrity.

​​

6. Engage in intentional systems change and sustainable inclusion

Sustainable inclusion means embedding equity into the very fabric of our organisation, ensuring that it is not just a temporary initiative but a permanent aspect of who we are and how we operate. This includes continuously educating ourselves and our teams, creating spaces for open dialogue, and empowering marginalised voices to lead and shape our direction.

 

7. Advocate for diversity and inclusion and amplify marginalised voices

Advocating for diversity and inclusion is a core responsibility that we embrace wholeheartedly. We recognise that to create meaningful change, we must actively champion these values and work to amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalised.

​

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is not passive. We will be proactive, intentional, and unwavering in our efforts to advocate for equity and to uplift those who have been overlooked. By doing so, we aim to contribute to a more just and inclusive world where everyone’s voice matters.
