Equality Scheme
Equality Statement
The Independent Living Fund is an organisation focussed on providing positive outcomes for disabled people. It is committed to promoting equality through the eradication of:
- discrimination
- harassment
- unfair treatment
We want to make sure that our processes and policies are customer focussed. They are regularly reviewed to eliminate possible unfair bias or obstacles for new applicants and existing users based on:
- gender
- age
- race
- disability
- sexual orientation
- religion or belief
We are committed to ensuring that Trustees, Staff, and ILF Assessors respect diversity and aim to deliver a consistently high quality service to all our customers. Through the delivery of this service we will also take every opportunity to contribute to the promotion of equality for all.
This commitment to equality extends to our workplace and we aim to provide a working environment in which people are treated fairly, equally and with respect.
We have prepared our Single Equality Scheme in response to the Equality Bill. It is an interim scheme covering our organisational actions on:
- gender
- age
- race
- disability
- sexual orientation
- religion or belief
The scheme will grow and develop in line with our business objectives and may change in accordance with this piece of legislation.
We have published Equality Impact Assessments for every user policy. If you have any other questions about our Single Equality Scheme, please get in touch with Keith Turner, Policy Development Manager, on 0845 601 8815 or email at policy.development@ilf.org.uk.
