Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Introduction
The Wild Pause is committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from nature regardless of their background, abilities, or circumstances.

1. Our Commitments
We are dedicated to:
Providing Equal Opportunities: Ensuring no individual is excluded from our sessions based on age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
Creating Inclusive Experiences: Adapting our services to accommodate diverse needs, including physical disabilities, mental health conditions, and other specific requirements.
Fostering Respect: Encouraging an environment where all participants feel welcome, respected, and valued.

2. Accommodations and Accessibility
We will offer reasonable accommodations, such as the use of adapted wheelchairs and ensuring accessible locations when possible.
While sessions take place in natural settings, we will select venues with features like ramps and smooth paths where appropriate.

3. Education and Awareness
We will inform participants about our commitment to inclusivity and encourage them to respect one another’s needs and perspectives.

4. Non-Discrimination
We will not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or exclusionary behaviour during any of our activities. Any such behaviour will be addressed promptly and appropriately.

5. Continuous Improvement
We will review our practices regularly to identify opportunities for greater inclusivity and will seek feedback from participants to inform improvements.

6. Supporting Mental Health
Although our sessions are not therapeutic, we will signpost participants to appropriate mental health resources if they disclose a need for additional support beyond the scope of our services.
