EQUITY
POLICY
Haywards
Heath Cricket Club is committed to ensuring that equity is
incorporated across all aspects of its development. In doing so it
acknowledges and adopts the following Sport England definition of
sports equity:
Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access,
recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is
about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure it
becomes equally accessible to everyone in society.
The
Club respects the rights, dignity and worth of every person and will
treat everyone equally within the context of their sport, regardless
of age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, religious belief,
sexuality or social/economic status.
The
Club is committed to everyone having the right to enjoy their sport
in an environment free from threat of intimidation, harassment and
abuse.
All
Club members have a responsibility to oppose discriminatory
behaviour and promote equality of opportunity.
The
Club will deal with any incidence of discriminatory behaviour
seriously, according to club disciplinary procedures.
Note.
This statement was written and approved by the management committee
in March 2006. It is the aim of HHCC to review this statement every
two years.
If
anyone has any comments then they are requested to contact the club
accreditation officer Nick Gracie-Langrick.
