BOP Statement on Equality and Diversity

Brighton Oasis Project is subject to positive duties to promote equality of opportunity on the grounds of disability, gender and race through the services it provides. Brighton Oasis Project recognises that drug and alcohol misuse affects diverse individuals and families. This includes people who identify as lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual, young and old, people with a disability and people from black and minority ethnic groups. As an organisation we are fully committed to challenging inequality, discrimination and disadvantage however this may arise or manifest. We exist as a provider of women only adult services to address women’s lack of access and representation within the drug treatment system. This approach is entirely in keeping with the Gender Equality Duty (2007). Our services for children and young people are non-gender specific and will be monitored to ensure equality of provision.

We demonstrate our commitment to challenging discrimination, celebrating diversity and ensuring equality of opportunity in all aspects of our work.
