Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy Template
An EDI policy isn't just good practice. Employers have legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and a clear policy helps demonstrate your organisation takes them seriously.
This equality, diversity and inclusion policy template gives small UK businesses and charities a straightforward starting point, written in plain English and ready to adapt to your own organisation.
What's included
- Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy template written for small UK businesses and charities
- Covers protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010
- Clear definitions of direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- Guidance on disability inclusion and reasonable adjustments
- Guidance on responsibilities for managers and employees, including training responsibilities
- Provided as a Word document, ready to edit
Why you need it
Without a written EDI policy, organisations can struggle to demonstrate their commitment to fair treatment, both to their own staff and externally. Whether you're applying for funding, responding to a tender or simply want to do right by your team, having a clear policy in place makes a difference.
This policy references our Harassment and Bullying Policy, which is available separately in the shop. The two are designed to sit alongside each other.
