Equal opportunities statement

Nightstop is committed to offering equal opportunities to all members, potential members, referral agents and young people who use the service or who wish to use the service of free emergency accommodation in volunteers’ homes. We acknowledge our responsibility to act in ways which avoid and eliminate unfair and unethical practices.

All members of Nightstop will play their part in ensuring that we act in ways which:

  • accept and respond to different traditions of culture, religion and faith;
  • recognise the impact of gender, age and sexuality on lifestyles;
  • seek to understand and attempt to redress disadvantages arising from race, poverty and class;
  • refrain from stigmatising people by reason of disability or illness;
  • actively work towards eliminating unfair advantage or discrimination in all aspects of our work.

All staff members and volunteers are required to adhere to this policy.
