Equal Treatment and Inclusivity Policy

Sync About It is a women fronted organisation and at the moment their percentage is leading.

We recognize that individuals may face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and marginalization. Our commitment to intersectionality means that we are aware of how various forms of oppression and privilege overlap and impact each person’s experience differently. We strive to address these complexities and ensure that our policies and practices support the unique needs of all participants and team members.

We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination, harassment, or bullying. This includes but is not limited to:
*  Unwanted or derogatory comments or jokes.
* Exclusion or marginalization of individuals or groups.
* Physical or verbal intimidation or abuse.
* Any other conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.
All complaints of discrimination, harassment, or bullying will be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. We encourage anyone who feels they have been subjected to such behavior to report it immediately, without fear of retaliation, to our team.

We are committed to doing everything possible that our events and communications are accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. We regret to inform the conference venue is not that accessible, as stairs and elevator are to be used to reach the event rooms. We will make reasonable accommodations to support the participation and involvement of all individuals, and we encourage open communication about any specific needs or requirements - ideally prior to the event, so that we can investigate solutions.

Our company is dedicated to providing equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, socioeconomic background, or any other characteristic protected by law.

We are committed to creating an environment that is welcoming and affirming for LGBTQ+ individuals. This includes:
*Respecting Identity: All participants and team members have the right to self-identify and be addressed by their chosen name and pronouns. We will make every effort to ensure that our language, forms, and communications are inclusive and respectful of all gender identities and expressions.
*Anti-Discrimination: Discrimination or harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression will not be tolerated. Any instances of such behavior will be addressed promptly and seriously, with appropriate action taken against those responsible.
*Awareness Corner: We are committed to providing safe and supportive spaces for LGBTQ+ participants and team members . This includes a desk with details on pur policy and a volunteer that will be instructed to offer help in various situations.

To uphold our commitment to equal treatment and inclusivity, we will provide ongoing training and education for all team members. This training will cover topics such as unconscious bias, intersectionality, LGBTQ+ inclusivity, and anti-discrimination practices. We believe that continuous learning is essential to maintaining an inclusive and respectful environment.

Anyone who experiences or witnesses behavior that violates this policy is encouraged to report it to our Awareness team or ask the person concerned if help is required. We take into account each observation very seriously.
