INTRODUCTION The British Taekwondo Council (BTC) is committed to ensuring that we are a sport which is inclusive and welcoming of diversity. We are fully committed to the principles and practice of equality of opportunity in all its functions: as an employer, in its training and development of coaches and instructors and involvement with officials and administrators. It is responsible for ensuring that no job applicant, employee, volunteer, service user, athlete or person within its jurisdiction (together "Stakeholders") are unlawfully discriminated against because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation (together the "Protected Characteristics under the Equality Act 2010") or any other irrelevant characteristic. We wish to ensure that everyone has a genuine and equal opportunity to participate in Taekwondo at all levels and in all roles. 2. BTC COMMITMENT To create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all stakeholders are recognised and valued. • Every employee is entitled to a working environment that promotes dignity and respect to all. No form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated. • Training, development and progression opportunities are available to all staff. • To promote equality in the workplace which we believe is good management practice and makes sound business sense. • We will review all our employment practices and procedures to ensure fairness. • Breaches of our equality policy will be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings. • This policy is fully supported by senior management and has been agreed with Member Organisations / employee representatives. • The policy will be monitored and reviewed regularly. 3. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT Responsibility for ensuring the effective implementation and operation of the arrangements will rest with the Chief Executive. Directors / Member Organisation representatives will ensure that they and their staff operate within this policy and arrangements, and that all reasonable and practical steps are taken to avoid discrimination. Each Member Organisation representative will ensure that: • all their staff are aware of the policy and the arrangements, and the reasons for the policy; • grievances concerning discrimination are dealt with properly, fairly and as quickly as possible; • proper records are maintained.
