Consultants and the publishers of Trainers and Consultants Direct want to ensure
that high standards of equal opportunities are maintained. NAVCA and fit4funding
(The CIB) will take the following steps to promote equal opportunities in relation
to TCD as follows:
- All of the consultants featured will have signed up to the
NAVCA statement of values before their details are published online.
- Consultants will be excluded from TCD if they have been shown
to have acted in a discriminatory way in their work, in accordance with the
NAVCA complaints procedure.
- Steps will be taken to increase the numbers of consultants
from under-represented groups to better meet the needs of the full range of
voluntary and community organisations, and to promote equality of opportunity
in self employment.
- Consultants will be expected to work with groups facing disadvantage
in ways which they find helpful, appropriate and relevant.
- Comments are welcome from organisations or consultants, inviting
them to draw attention to any way in which NAVCA and fit4funding (The CIB)
can improve equal opportunities practice in relation to TCD.
