Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)
Our vision is to create an Inclusive, Equitable and Diverse community that is underpinned by care.
Caring for others is part of the human condition and within the Loughborough London community, caring should be reciprocal between all its members. In a caring community every individual should feel supported to thrive without causing detriment to others.
A community that invests in all its members recognises that its members have different needs, and that everyone can contribute to the community in different ways.
We acknowledge that this vision cannot be implemented by a single individual, instead it requires a collective approach that draws on our interdependence and the need to create opportunities for all members to participate in realising the vision. We call this a community-based approach and provide a set of principles that can guide our actions.
Our guiding principles
- We embrace a flexible mindset.
- We engage in non-divisive approaches to change.
- We recognise and respect differences and diversity in individual circumstances.
- We aim for an equitable community with different allowances based on personal circumstances.
- We aim to create a safe environment where we feel comfortable to raise challenges and complaints.
- We promote and aim to support the growth of community-based approach.
