Equality, diversity and inclusion
People who face multiple disadvantage experience significant blocks and barriers and are often treated unequally and unfairly. Because of this, a consideration of issues surrounding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is integral to the work of the Changing Futures partnership.
We are committed to addressing these issues through embracing diversity; creating equitable and inclusive approaches to ensure our clients are inspired to have a life beyond services.
If you’d like to talk to us about EDI approaches and activities, please drop us an email: info@changingfuturesbristol.co.uk
Below are some resources that we find really helpful, as well as some content from Changing Futures. Let us know what you think! And if you have something you’d like to share on this page then please get in touch.
