Scottish Environment LINK have created a template Diversity Action Plan with an accompanying Equality Impact Assessment that incorporates all suggested actions on the Nature for All Resource Hub. Where actions are advised, there are links within the template on where to find more information within the hub for ease of use.  

Here is an example of guidance and commitment statements from RSPB that may be of use when creating your equality policy. The ARC-Trust have also produced an equality policy that may be of use, too.

ACAS have also produced an Equality Policy template that we recommend using alongside our own recommendations specified in How to Support Staff and Volunteers.

Our sister organisation, Wildlife and Countryside LINK have produced an excellent diversity and anti-racism statement that you can read and adapt to either place on your website or as part of your Equality Policy  or Diversity Action Plan.

We have created an accessibility checklist covering all the topics discussed here, which we recommend using alongside the other resources on this page.
