IDEA

As an organisation and individuals, we respect, encourage, and appreciate what makes us all unique. From our board members to employees and those we work with and for. We will make our programmes as inclusive, diverse, equal and accessible as possible.

20Twenty Productions CIC is committed to ‘IDEA’ in its provision of services and in all its employment practices, policies and procedures. This includes recruitment, training, remuneration and promotion and equal terms and conditions of employment. We are all committed to the creation of a non-discriminatory working environment.

Inclusion

Providing equal access and opportunities for people who otherwise would be excluded or marginalised. ‘Inclusion’ is where we make the most of our diversity. We celebrate our differences and ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable to be themselves, share their ideas and contribute fully.

Diversity

A practice that involves individuals from a range of different ethnic and social backgrounds. ‘Diversity’ means that staff and volunteers reflect the diversity in our service users and society more broadly. This is not limited to protected characteristics, but to all the differences people have.

Equality

The fairness and justice of the way that individuals are treated. ‘Equality’ assumes everyone has the same opportunities to fulfil their potential free from discrimination and ensures everyone’s starting point is equal. Additional measures will be used to support specific marginalised groups to create equality.

Accessibility

The practice of making information and activities in an environment as usable for as many individuals as possible. ‘Accessibility’ is where the environment in which an individual enters is met with the same access as everyone else. Making their experience as enjoyable and stress-free. Additional measure will be used to enhance and support the needs of access.
