Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement
The Space by AZM CIC is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion across its creative, cultural and community-interest work.
We believe that creativity is strengthened by different voices, lived experiences, cultural backgrounds, artistic disciplines and forms of expression.
Our aim is to support visibility, opportunity and access for UK-based designers, artists and creative practitioners, including those who may face barriers to participation, representation, professional development or cultural opportunity.
The Space by AZM CIC seeks to create respectful, professional and inclusive environments across its programmes, applications, exhibitions, pop-ups, residencies, mentoring, partnerships, placements, collaborations and public-facing activity.
We are committed to treating people fairly and with dignity, regardless of :
- age
- disability
- gender reassignment
- marriage or civil partnership
- pregnancy or maternity
- race, ethnicity, nationality or cultural background
- religion or belief
- sex
- sexual orientation
- socio-economic background
- caring responsibilities
- level of professional experience or access to existing networks
The Space by AZM CIC will not tolerate discrimination, harassment, bullying, victimisation, intimidation or exclusionary conduct in connection with its work.
We aim to ensure that opportunities are communicated clearly, selection processes are fair, and decisions are made in line with the Company’s mission, governance principles and community-interest purpose.
Where appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to reduce barriers to participation and to support access for underrepresented, emerging or under-resourced creatives.
We recognise that inclusion is an ongoing responsibility.
As The Space by AZM CIC develops, we will continue to review our policies, working practices, partnerships and programme delivery to support fairness, respect, accessibility and meaningful participation.
Concerns about discrimination, harassment, unfair treatment, accessibility barriers or exclusionary conduct can be raised through the appropriate contact route stated on the website.
