WEA Race and Disability Equality Schemes
The Race Equality Scheme and the Disability Equality Scheme set out how the WEA, as an organisation, proposes to fulfil its duties under the Race Relations Act and the Discrimination Disability Act amended in 2005. The schemes are working documents which set out our aims, strategy and action plan.
In his foreword to the Schemes, WEA President David Lanch says, “the Trustees and Association Committee as the governing body of the WEA take our role as the champions of Equality and Diversity very seriously. We are aware that although there is some excellent practice across the Association we still have some way to go before we can truly say that we are fulfilling our Mission as set out in our Memorandum and Articles, which commits the organisation to:
| |
‘oppose discrimination in matters of Gender, sexual orientation, race, faith, age and disability, and shall operate within an equal opportunities framework for the delivery of its education, for its employment practices, and for the organisation of its voluntary membership.’” |
