EQUITY & DIVERSITY POLICY

Our Equity and Diversity Policy explains our position on ensuring equal access for everyone. 

 

We have always welcomed people of all backgrounds to join us on our adventures. We can only accept people over 18 because we do not have an AALA license or DBS check, which is a legal requirement when taking young people on adventure activities.  As we have had no training or experience in leading children or disabled people, we feel it would be inappropriate and potentially hazardous to try and do so at this stage, though we are not against doing so in the future, indeed it would be something we would like to offer, when we are able.

​

We;

 

Insist on fairness, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them

Continue to develop our services where possible to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to all members of society whatever their ability, gender, race, ethnicitiy, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or socio/economic status
