Equality and diversity
At Action for Children, we are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace where everyone can belong and thrive.
We particularly encourage applications from Global Majority and disabled candidates, who are currently underrepresented in our organisation. We value different perspectives and are taking meaningful action to create more equitable opportunities.
We are committed not only to attracting diverse talent, but to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and able to succeed.
Our vision: To create a charity that leads the way in diversity and inclusion. That reflects the diverse children and families we support. A charity where everyone’s voice is valued, that’s passionately anti-racist, and is truly inclusive.
Our principles
We are committed to creating an environment where bullying, harassment and victimisation are not tolerated. We work to remove barriers across our employment opportunities, workplaces and services through ongoing consultation, learning, monitoring and review.
We believe everyone deserves a fair opportunity to succeed and to feel valued, respected and included in the workplace. Our approach is grounded in compassion, respect and fairness and like everything we do, it’s driven by love.
Our work is guided by the Equality Act 2010 and the nine protected characteristics: Age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, and pregnancy and maternity.
Discrimination in any form is unlawful and unacceptable. We are committed to fostering a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, and where diversity is recognised as a strength.
