Equality Scheme and Action Plan
Canopy’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Group have recently reviewed our Equality Scheme and Action Plan. The review recognised a number of successes such as recruiting more diverse Board Members and a Mental Health First Aider, preparing a gender pay gap report, producing anti-harassment and dignity at work policies, delivering hate crime training, drawing volunteers from diverse backgrounds (including a high proportion of women), staff members learning British Sign Language, making our offices more accessible and producing Esiread communications.
However, there is still plenty for us to do, such as improving the data we hold about the people we work with, improving our domestic violence policy and procedures, offering paid traineeships, expanding our office opening times, recruiting more diverse Board Members and delivering more training to our staff and Board around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
