Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

YMCA Humber is opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination and ensures that all staff, volunteers, and clients are treated fairly and will not be discriminated against on any of the above grounds. Decisions on recruitment, promotion, training, service provision or any other benefit will be made objectively, without unlawful discrimination, and based on aptitude, ability or identified need.

We recognise that the provision of equal opportunities in all our activities will benefit the association, helping staff, volunteers, and clients to develop their full potential, with the talents and resources of these individuals utilised fully, maximising the effectiveness of YMCA Humber. As an association we recognise there is a statutory duty under the Equality Act 2010, to implement an equal opportunities policy, and this policy applies to applicants for employment, volunteers, and clients alike.

YMCA Humber is committed to the principles and practice of equality, valuing the diversity of the local population. Our aim is that our services, facilities, and resources are accessible and useful to every individual, regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religious belief, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or any individual characteristic which unfairly affects a person’s opportunities in life.
