1.1 Camp Fantastic subscribes to the principles of equality of opportunity and aims to ensure that anyone participating at our Camps is able to do so in a discrimination-free
environment.

1.2 The Equality Policy is based on the following fundamental principles, which Camp Fantastic aims to uphold:

1.2.1 All persons must respect the rights, dignity and worth of every human being and their right to self- determination.

1.2.2 All staff, members, volunteers and job applicants are entitled to be treated fairly regardless of gender, gender reassignment, sexual, age, parental or marital status,
disability, religion, colour, race, ethnic or national origins, or socio/economic background.

1.2.3 Equality must permeate throughout all of our plans, procedures and activity.

1.2.4 All participants should be afforded equal opportunity to access services.

1.2.5 In some cases, positive action may be required to address past inequalities or under-representation.

1.2.6 It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that no form of discrimination is tolerated in our company or at our camps.

1.2.7 Any individual who believes they have received unfavourable treatment within the scope of the policy should raise their concern in line with our Procedures.

1.2.8 No individual (and/or their family) who raises a concern in good faith, or those who support another person to raise a concern should be treated unfairly as a result of
raising the concern.

2.1 The Equality Policy has been designed to ensure that no job applicant, employee, volunteer, participant or member is unlawfully discriminated against or receives less
favourable treatment on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and
sexual orientation (together these are known as the ‘Protected Characteristics’ under the Equality Act 2010)

2.2 Camp Fantastic recognises that individuals (and/or certain groups in our society who share one or more Protected Characteristics) may have been denied opportunities in
the past. This Policy has been produced to try to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and avoid practices that could discriminate directly or indirectly towards certain
sections of society. In order to achieve equality, Camp Fantastic recognises that in some instances, unequal distribution of effort and resources may be required. This may
be necessary when sections of society are faced with barriers that prevent or restrict their participation in our Camps. Camp Fantastic supports the need for positive action
to alleviate any barriers to participation.

2.3 Equality is about respecting peoples’ individuality. In doing this, Camp Fantastic recognises that its Policy must provide flexibility in order to ensure a service, which is
adaptive to individuals’ needs, thus enabling all in our society to participate without prejudice or unnecessary barriers.

3.1 Camp Fantastic strives to ensure that our company and Camps aare free from discrimination. We endeavour to promote the highest standards and will:

3.1.1 Provide and implement a policy to protect staff and families from discrimination.

3.1.2 Encourage individuals from all communities to become involved as part of our recruitment and attendance of camps.

3.1.3 Adopt good practice in recruitment, training and supervision of all employees and volunteers.

3.1.4 Respond to all concerns, and implement the appropriate remedial procedures where necessary.

3.2 Camp Fantastic will work to ensure that inequality is avoided:

3.2.1 When selecting, recruiting and training individuals.

3.2.2 In the monitoring of practices, procedures and data relating to the operations and activities of the company.

3.2.3 In the preparation and distribution of all materials and publications.

3.2.4 By the relaxation of any conventional rules which serve to inhibit the participation of people with special needs or disabilities. Any relaxation of company rules will only
be carried out for the purpose above where it is safe to do so and does not have a detrimental effect on the company’s.

4.1 Staff and Parents are required to assist in ensuring that Camp Fantastic meets its commitment and avoids unlawful discrimination.
