Bradford Cyrenians is committed to delivering services in a fair,
objective and equitable manner. As
an employer we welcome applicants from diverse communities, backgrounds and
cultures.
Bradford Cyrenians has developed an Equality & Diversity
Strategy and Action Plan, which sets out mechanisms for improving access
for diverse communities, irrespective of whether they become a service
user, a member of staff or as a Trustee serving on the management
committee. As part of our
commitment to continuous improvement, one of our internal performance and
improvement targets is to proactively promote our services to excluded and
marginalised groups.
We aim to meet the diverse needs of communities we serve in a number
of ways. For instance, our chef
will meet the dietary needs of residents and this also includes providing
culturally specific foods. We advertise places of worship of many
denominations on notice boards, we have religious artefacts available ie.
The Bible, The Koran, Rosary Beads, Prayer Mats etc. We also make
provisions for men fasting during the month of Ramadan.
Our Equalities Champion helps to organise cultural events/festivals
so that staff & service users can celebrate as well as learn in the
process. For instance we have enjoyed Yorkshire Day, Chinese New Year,
Christmas, New Year, World Mental Health Day and Aids awareness Day to name
but a few.
As part of our training and development programme, all staff have
accessed training on equality and diversity to ensure that the diverse
communities accommodated in Bradford can be better catered for in terms of
their cultural and religious beliefs.
