Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy (Clubs and Community Groups)
About this document
As associations that provide services to members and the public, clubs and community groups must not discriminate under the Equality Act 2010. An equality policy shows your commitment, guides decisions about membership, events and venues, and is often required by funders. This version is written for small, volunteer-run groups.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
