Rotary GB&I HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT 

Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (Rotary GB&I) acknowledges that it has a responsibility to ensure that all Rotary districts and Rotary clubs within Rotary GB&I are made aware of the essential need to plan and organise all Rotary activities and events in a safe manner. Rotary GB&I is committed to ensuring that all reasonable steps are taken to safeguard the participants, members of the public, volunteers, Rotarians and anyone who may be in the vicinity of a Rotary event or activity from risk of injury or ill health resulting directly or indirectly from that activity or event. 

Rotary GB&I is committed to: 

• Promoting and encouraging development of safe practice as the normal acceptable standard for all Rotary events and activities. 

• Providing all districts with information and advice to enable them to formulate and implement their own health and safety policies and to provide the same service to their respective clubs. 

• Establishing systems and procedures that will ensure districts and clubs have access to up to date information and safety advice when so required. 

• Developing and encouraging communication at all levels in order to develop the exchange of ideas and to promote best practice at all levels within Rotary GB&I. 

The overall responsibility for safety at any Rotary activity or event lies with the district or club organising it in accordance with all current legislation including Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The responsibility for implementation of this, the overall Rotary GB&I safety policy, lies with the General Council of Rotary GB&I. In support of this policy the General Council will appoint a Compliance Officer who will report and operate through the Rotary GB&I Executive Committee. The executive for each district within Rotary GB&I are charged with ensuring that the district and all clubs in their district develop and put into practice an effective working safety policy. Each district executive and each club council should appoint a Compliance and/or Health & Safety Advisor, who will liaise with the Rotary GB&I Compliance Officer and other safety representatives in order to promote, encourage and develop suitable and sufficient health and safety practice at all Rotary events and activities. 

This policy statement, and all related documents, will be reviewed by Rotary GB&I at the end of each Rotary year following which appropriate advice and updated documents, if so required, will be provided to all Rotary GB&I districts. This policy statement, and any documents based upon it, should be re-validated annually by signing the Rotary GB&I Combined Compliance Statement.

Equality and Diversity Policy For Rotary Clubs and Districts

NOTE: This policy appliesto all activities performed by or on behalf of Rotary GB&I at national or district level and referencesto Rotary Clubs are so worded as each Rotary Club is autonomoussubject to compliance with RI, Rotary GB&I and Club Constitutions. 

1. Purpose 

1.1 Statement of Intent 

Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (Rotary GB&I) is committed to promoting equality, fairness and respect. We aim to create an environment where diversity is recognised, valued and celebrated. We will provide equal opportunities for all Rotarians to develop and to fulfil their potential. We will engage fully with our diverse society. We will take care to assess the impact of our policies and their implementation on race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion and belief, gender, gender reassignment, disability, sex or sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity and age equality. These are the ‘Protected Characteristics’ contained in the Equality Act 2010, and they also correspond broadly with the headings under which citizens are legally protected from discrimination in employment and other aspects of participation in society, in equality legislation in the Republic of Ireland, namely the Equal Status Act 2000 as amended by the Equality Act 2004. This policy is to be linked with the Rotary GB&I Dignity Policy (rev. April 18) as approved by General Council in November 2017 (D. GC 2017/18:18) 

1.2 What is Diversity? 

When people think of diversity, they may think first of ethnicity and race and then gender. However, diversity is much broader than that. Diversity includes, but is not limited to: age, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, physical abilities or qualities, race, sexual orientation, educational background, geographic location, income, marital status, partnership status, religion or belief, parental status, caring responsibilities and work experience. Diversity management can be broadly defined as accepting, valuing and getting the best from all individuals whatever their group or individual differences such as communications style, career or vocational experiences and other factors. "Every Rotarian, whatever they look like and however they operate, maximises their potential and value to the team. Everyone is valued as an individual as well as a member of the team. Everyone is themselves and seeks to be successful as themselves rather than conforming to a mould." In short, every individual has a right to their own success and a responsibility to the success of the team. They have a right to celebrate individuality and a responsibility to conform to the team’s policies, ethos and codes of behaviour. 

1.3 What is Discrimination? 

Rotary GB&I is committed to maintaining an environment which is free from discrimination and harassment of other people including current or prospective members and employees. The following forms of discrimination are prohibited under this policy and are unlawful: • Direct discrimination: treating someone less favourably because of a Protected Characteristic. ©Rotary International Great Britain and Ireland (last reviewed Jan 2018) • Indirect discrimination: a provision, criterion or practice that applies to everyone but adversely affects people with a particular Protected Characteristic more than others, and is not justified. • Harassment: this includes sexual harassment and other unwanted conduct related to a Protected Characteristic, which has the purpose or effect of violating someone's dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them. • Victimisation: retaliation against someone who has complained or has supported someone else's complaint about discrimination or harassment. • Disability discrimination: this includes direct and indirect discrimination, any unjustified less favourable treatment because of the effects of a disability, and failure to make reasonable adjustments to alleviate disadvantages caused by a disability. 

2. Policy 

Rotary GB&I is committed to providing excellent diversity and equality of opportunity. Rotary GB&I objectives are to promote and develop diversity initiatives with a view to matching and, if possible, improving on best practice. It actively endorses relevant programmes of action and codes of practice on all aspects of diversity. 

Rotary GB&I aims to provide an environment where we will: 

• Encourage Rotary Clubs to recruit membership that reflects, at all levels, the diversity of the communities where they operate and ofsociety as a whole.

• Treat all our members, employees and outside contacts with dignity and respect. • Provide Rotarians with the opportunity to develop and realise their full potential. 

• Take positive action to secure equality of opportunity. 

• Ensure that our recruitment, selection, and Rotary career progression processes are fair, objective and free from bias or stereotyping. 

• Endeavour to ensure that Rotary Clubs deliver excellent service to their respective diverse communities. 

2.1 Objectives 

Our diversity and equality objectives are focused on three key areas: 

2.1.1 Service - we will: 

• Strive to review all Rotary GB&I services from the perspective of the Rotary GB&I diversity principles to ensure they meet the differing needs of individuals and groups. 

• Provide clear information about Rotary GB&I services in ways that are accessible and meet the community needs. 

• Monitor the physical features of our premises to consider whether they might place anyone with a disability at a substantial disadvantage. Where necessary, we will take reasonable steps to improve access. If we consider a particular adjustment would not be reasonable we will explain our reasons and try to find an alternative solution where possible. • Consult with different groups on service needs and provision. 

• Monitor and evaluate services to ensure that they do not unfairly discriminate. • Ensure equal access to the Rotary GB&I complaints procedure. 

• Assess our policies, functions and practices to consider their impact on equality in line with legal requirements and best practice policy. 

2.1.2 Recruitment and Retention – we will: 

• Encourage Rotary Clubs to recruit members that represent the makeup of the regional population in terms of race, gender and disability. ©Rotary International Great Britain and Ireland (last reviewed Jan 2018) 

• Monitor the selection process to ensure it is free from discrimination and openly accountable. Any information provided in this respect is voluntary and will not adversely affect an individual's chances of recruitment or any other decision related to their membership or employment. 

• Review and monitor all other policies and procedures to ensure that they do not inadvertently allow unfair discrimination to occur. 

• Ensure that access to information, procedures and records is as open and transparent as possible. • Encourage Rotary Clubs to provide a safe and accessible environment, which values and respects individuals' identities and cultures. 

• Encourage a culture and environment free from discrimination and harassment. 

• Develop a culture which encourages Rotary networks to share best practice and provide specific support to diverse groups. 

• Encourage and help Rotarians to reach their full potential. 

• Assess our policies, functions and practices to consider their impact on equality in line with legal requirements and best practice policy. 

2.1.3 Working in Partnership – we will: 

• Work with others in partnership to endeavour to provide an environment free from unfair discrimination and harassment. 

• Encourage others to adopt this policy.

2.2 Who is responsible for this policy? 

Each Club President has overall responsibility for the effective operation of this policy and for ensuring compliance with discrimination law. Day-to-day operational responsibility for this policy, including regular review of this policy, has been delegated to the Rotary GB&I Compliance Officer. 

All Club Presidents must set an appropriate standard of behaviour, lead by example and ensure that those they manage adhere to the policy and promote our aims and objectives with regard to equal opportunities. Club Presidents will be given appropriate training on equal opportunities awareness and equal opportunities recruitment. The Rotary GB&I Compliance Officer has overall responsibility for equal opportunities training. 

This policy will be reviewed annually by the Rotary GB&I Compliance Officer. If you have any questions about the content or application of this policy, you should contact the Rotary GB&I Compliance Officer to request further information. Members are invited to comment on this policy and suggest ways in which it may be improved by contacting the Rotary GB&I Compliance Officer. 

3. Breaches of this policy 

Rotary GB&I will take a strict approach to breaches of this policy. Complaints should be reported in accordance with the Rotary GB&I Dispute Management Procedures and will be treated in confidence and investigated as appropriate. There must be no victimisation or retaliation against members who complain about discrimination. However, making a false allegation deliberately and in bad faith will result in exclusion from the organisation and/or disciplinary action.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Motion for Council

Upon receipt of advice from Rotary GB&I in relation to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) the Hon. Secretary convened a working group which proposed a policy to Council which seeks to ensure that, to the best of our ability, we are compliant with the requirements of the Regulation, which is enforceable from 25 May 2018. This policy was adopted by Council on 4 May 2018. This policy is designed to ensure that Club Members personal data is protected from being misused.

However, to ensure that the data in the Handbook conforms to the Regulation the following arrangements will be made.

4 Consent to the provision of personal data
