The Access Project is committed to being an organisation where everyone is welcome, appreciated, and respected. We will ensure that all those who work and volunteer for us are encouraged and enabled to be themselves and can thrive in an inclusive environment. The Access Project will foster an equitable culture built on community, inclusivity, diversity, and a bold idea of acceptance, where different experiences are not only accepted but celebrated.

The Access Project aspires to represent the diversity of communities across the UK at all levels of the organisation and proactively takes steps to support this. We commit to supporting our students to get to top universities: emphasising, embracing, and listening to their diverse range of lived experiences.

We commit to creating space for staff and volunteers to raise concerns about any experience of discriminatory behaviour, which will be listened to and addressed at a senior level. We have a Dignity at Work policy in place which states what steps can be taken if a concern is raised.

The Access Project commits to creating a culture where the experiences and voices of people from marginalised backgrounds are listened to and valued; where their skills are appreciated; and where their talents are nurtured and encouraged. The Access Project will embody the values that we champion through our work, and we will hold ourselves accountable if we get things wrong. We recognise that by embracing diversity, our ability to meet the needs of the young people we support will improve, while fostering greater space for innovation and collaboration.
