Policies.
Inclusion and diversity.
CRASAC is committed to reflecting and responding to the diversity of the communities across Coventry and beyond. We provide accessible services to victims and survivors of sexual violence, and to those who support them.
We are committed to equal opportunities and to ensuring all parts of the community can access our services. We use information about local communities to help improve access and service delivery.
Our commitment
CRASAC is committed to promoting equality, diversity, inclusion and human rights in all aspects of our work. We believe that every person has the right to be treated with dignity, respect and fairness and to access support that is safe, welcoming and free from discrimination.
As a specialist service supporting survivors of sexual violence and abuse, we recognise that discrimination, inequality and oppression can increase vulnerability, create barriers to support, and affect people's experiences of trauma and recovery. We are committed to challenging these barriers and ensuring that our services are accessible, inclusive and responsive to the diverse needs of the communities we serve.
This statement was approved by the Board of Trustees in August 2026 and will be reviewed in August 2029.

Our approach
Women and girls
We recognise that women and girls are disproportionately affected by sexual violence.
CRASAC provides women-only safe spaces in line with Schedule 3 of the Equality Act 2010. In line with Schedule 9, all CRASAC staff and volunteers are female.
Anti-racism
We stand against racism in all its forms and are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and respectful environment for all survivors.
We recognise the impact of racism and racial trauma and are committed to ongoing learning and improvement, including anti-racism training and the development of a dedicated policy.
Volunteering
Volunteers are involved in CRASAC on a fair and non-discriminatory basis. We aim to ensure volunteering opportunities are accessible and inclusive.
