Conciliation Resources

Who we are

Conflict is difficult, complex and political. The world urgently needs to find different ways to respond.

Conciliation Resources is an international organisation committed to stopping violent conflict and creating more peaceful societies. We work with people impacted by war and violence, bringing diverse voices together to make change that lasts.

We connect the views of people on the ground with political processes, and share experience and expertise so others can find creative responses to conflict.

We make peace possible.

Our culture and values

Our vision & purpose

Our purpose is to bring people together to find creative and sustainable paths to peace.

• Challenge: we are not afraid to face difficult conversations and defy convention.
• Commitment: we are dedicated and resilient in the long journey to lasting peace.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Conciliation Resources values diversity and inclusion and seeks to ensure that there is no unfair discrimination in its working practices. It also aims to take positive steps to support staff, volunteers and trustees from groups that are or have been disadvantaged through discrimination.

This policy aims to:

• Outline Conciliation Resources’ commitment to ensuring equality of opportunity and fair treatment for employees, volunteers and trustees;

• Affirm our commitment to diversity across our employees, volunteers, trustees and others working with Conciliation Resources, in recognition of the benefits that diversity brings;

• Provide guidance on anti-discriminatory practice and creating an environment in which diversity and inclusion are actively supported.

Conciliation Resources regards discrimination, abuse, harassment, victimisation or bullying of others in the course of work as a disciplinary offence that could be regarded as gross misconduct and could lead to dismissal (in line with our Bullying and Harassment policy and Disciplinary policy).
