Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
The elimination of any discrimination is at the heart of our Federation. The British DanceSport Federation strives to promote equality of opportunity, and provide for good relations between people of diverse groups, in particular on the grounds of the following characteristics protected by the Equality Act (2010); age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, and sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic.
The aim of the Federation is to be truly representative of all sections of society and create an environment free of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination, promoting dignity and respect for all, and where individual differences and the contributions of all members are recognised and valued.
The Federation will take very seriously all complaints of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination by fellow members. If the Committee establishes that there has been any misconduct, the Committee reserves the right to terminate a members's membership without notice or explanation.
Such acts will be dealt with as misconduct under the organisation’s grievance and/or disciplinary procedures, and appropriate action will be taken. Particularly serious complaints could amount to gross misconduct and lead to dismissal without notice. The Federation will also cooperate fully with any criminal investigation should the need arise.
