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
We oppose discrimination in all its forms and are committed to ensuring no one is treated less favourably on the basis of the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010, as well as neurodiversity, social class, and political beliefs.
This statement was approved by the Board of Trustees in June 2023 and will be reviewed in June 2026.

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.
