The BMC has achieved the foundation level of the Equality Standard. A portfolio was submitted for assessment in April this year and it has now been confirmed that the BMC meet this standard.
In order to attain this level the BMC has demonstrated the following:
- That the BMC is committed to equality
- That the BMC has a policy for equality that has been communicated and is understood by staff and key volunteers
- That the BMC is aware of its current profile and position in terms of equality
The BMC is now listed as one of the organisations that have achieved this standard. Click here to see the list.
The next level is called the preliminary level and involves the BMC understanding the issues and barriers faced by underrepresented groups. The BMC Equity Steering Group is currently engaged in this process and it is hoped to submit a portfolio for this level in September 2007.
