Diversity & Inclusion statement

Individuals with different cultures, perspectives and experiences are at the heart of the way SCA works. We want to recruit, develop, and retain the most talented people, regardless of their background and make best use of their skills, recognising the enrichment that this brings to our organisation and the wider community. At SCA we are guided by our values in everything we do and recognise that being a diverse and inclusive employer helps us to fulfil our responsibility to make a difference for our staff, stakeholders and beneficiaries.

We seek to develop a work environment where we treat all employees as individuals, fairly and in a consistent way. We work within the spirit and the practice of the Equality Act 2010 by promoting a culture of respect and dignity and actively challenging discrimination, should it ever arise and across all protected characteristics. We will remove unnecessary barriers for our employees’ seeking opportunities through training and development, promotion and career planning, making reasonable adjustments where they are required and where it will enhance the experience for them.

We will continue to support our leaders, members, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders to demonstrate the principles of diversity and inclusion in their everyday activities, roles, and functions, with an intention of engendering a sense of belonging for everyone
