Diversity policy
A diversity policy sets out an organisation’s commitments and arrangements for supporting fair access, diversity and inclusion. It should connect responsibilities, practices, reporting and review with relevant objectives and applicable law. A policy’s value depends on implementation and evidence rather than aspirational wording alone.
Worked example
A business reviews unnecessary entry requirements, improves accessible recruitment arrangements and monitors outcomes, with named responsibility for addressing barriers and concerns.
Common mistake
Assuming a policy proves that discrimination does not occur or copying targets and practices without considering the organisation’s circumstances and legal requirements.
