Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union Equal Opportunities Policy

1. Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union is committed to a comprehensive policy of equal opportunity for all students and staff, as reflected in the University’s Equal Opportunities Policy, Mission Statement and Strategic Plan, and the plans for development of the Students’ Union.

2. The aim of this policy is to create an environment whereby students, staff and potential staff are treated fairly and equally, regardless of gender, colour, ethnic or national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, socio-economic background, family circumstance, spent offences or any conditions which cannot be shown to be justified.

3. The Students’ Union is committed to ending all discrimination, and taking positive action to enable disadvantaged and underrepresented groups to participate fully in all aspects of Students’ Union activity.

4. It is the responsibility of all members and staff of the Students’ Union to behave in a non-discriminatory manner, and to help change practices and procedures which deny or limit equality of opportunity or treatment.

Implementation

1. Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union must monitor its provision for groups which are traditionally under-represented, and work with those groups to find ways of improving this participation and representation.

2. Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union must monitor and reassess its own practice and procedures to ensure that they are in no way discriminatory to or exclusive from any particular group.

3. Anglia Ruskin Students’ Union must commit itself to applying disciplinary or grievance procedures should any students contravene this policy.
