We are committed, therefore to confront and eliminate discrimination whether by reason of gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion or belief, ability or disability and to encourage equal opportunities

 

We are also committed to promoting equality by treating people fairly and with respect, by recognising that inequalities may exist, by taking steps to address them and by providing access and opportunities for all members of the community.

 

The aim of this policy is to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with respect and that Scottish Snooker is equally accessible to them all.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd in all its activities, will not discriminate, or in any way treat anyone less favourably, on grounds of social standing, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion or belief, ability or disability.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd will ensure that it treats people fairly and with respect and that it will provide access and opportunities for all members of the community to take part in, and enjoy, it’s activities.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd will not tolerate harassment, bullying, abuse or victimisation of an individual, which for the purposes of this policy and the actions and sanction applicable is regarded as discrimination. This includes sexual or racially based harassment or other discriminatory behaviour, whether physical or verbal.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd will work to ensure that such behaviour is met with appropriate action in whatever context it occurs.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd is committed to the development of a programme of ongoing training and awareness raising events and activities in order to promote the eradication of discrimination within Snooker

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd is committed to a policy of equal treatment of all members and requires all members to abide and adhere to these policies and the requirements of all relevant, current equalities legislation.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd is committed to the immediate investigation of any claims, when it is brought to their attention, of discrimination on the above grounds and where such is found to be the case, a requirement that the practice stop and sanctions imposed as appropriate.

 

We all have a role to play in levelling the playing field and improving the pathways into sport for those who remain socially excluded.

 

Caledonian Snooker Ltd seeks to engage, involve, promote and develop people from all sectors of society as players, coaches, officials, administrators and leaders.

 

Hopefully as we progress in this process, we will embrace the extra commitment willingly because of the potential benefits for the existing and future membership of our organisation
