Diversity Equity and Inclusion at ReDI School
ReDI Organisational Statement for DEI
ReDI School of Digital Integration is committed to creating an inclusive environment and “Safer Space” for everyone, including students, volunteers, staff and the wider community. This includes the shared responsibility of upholding the following principles:
Diversity, Visible and Invisible Characteristics
ReDI School values both the similarities and differences among individuals, encompassing various dimensions such as (but not limited to) gender identity, age, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, nationality, cultural ethnicity, religion, lifestyle choices, and background. ReDI School acknowledges the importance of recognizing both visible and invisible (e.g., religious beliefs, sexual orientation) characteristics that shape a person's opinions, perspectives, attitudes, and actions.
Intersectionality
ReDI School believes that these characteristics are interconnected and can overlap, creating unique experiences for individuals. The school recognizes and addresses intersecting forms of discrimination.
Equal Opportunity
ReDI School provides equal opportunities for all throughout the employee, student or volunteer experience cycle, irrespective of factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or cultural background.
Equity
ReDI School is committed to acknowledging and addressing historical or contemporary injustices and disadvantages, ensuring that processes and programs are fair, impartial, and provide equal outcomes for every individual.
Inclusion
ReDI School is building a culture of belonging by actively inviting the contribution and participation of all people, creating an environment where everyone can succeed.
In summary, the ReDI School of Digital Integration is dedicated to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment, recognizing and respecting the unique aspects of each individual while actively working against discrimination and disadvantage.
