Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy (EDI)

KENRIC promotes an inclusive environment which is free from prejudice, intimidation, bullying or harassment underpinned by its Vision "That all lesbians are able to live safe, fulfilling and connected lives." The organisation recognises and values difference irrespective and regardless of race or racial group, religion or belief, age, disability, marital status and sexual identity or orientation. Membership of KENRIC is open to lesbians, including trans women who identify as lesbian.

KENRIC embraces and promotes equality, diversity and inclusion for all its members. The organisation's commitment to providing a safe environment within which its members may meet and feel comfortable together is central to its Mission: "KENRIC creates a vibrant, inclusive and supportive community for all lesbians by providing a mix of enriching and enjoyable social events."

KENRIC is opposed to all forms of prejudice and discrimination based on age, class, status, race and ethnicity, place of origin, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, health, religion, ability or disability. In promoting an environment free from intimidation, bullying or harassment, KENRIC opposes all forms of discrimination including but not limited to homophobic, biphobic, transphobic, racist, misogynist, sexist, religious intolerant, malicious or otherwise inappropriate behaviour and/or language.

KENRIC aims to ensure that these commitments are embedded in its day-to-day practices with all full members and associates so that they are treated fairly, openly, honestly, with dignity and respect.

The organisation’s values and expected behaviours are underpinned in its members' Code of Conduct. Every member and person acting for KENRIC has a personal responsibility to promote and be mindful of these principles in their conversations and interactions. The Management Committee (MC) is committed to tackling behaviour which breaches them.

Note: Definitions of types of unlawful discrimination and of terms used in this Policy are in the EDI POLICY ANNEXE directly below.


EDI Policy Annexe

Definition of terms used in KENRIC EDI Policy:

Associates:  Meetup members, guests and event attendees who do not hold membership cards and are therefore not full KENRIC members.
Full members: Women who have subscribed to KENRIC and who are in receipt of a membership card
Lesbian:  Woman who is attracted to other women
Trans woman: An adult who was observed to be male at birth but whose lived gender identity is female
Woman: an adult female

​

Types of unlawful discrimination:
Direct discrimination is where a person is treated less favourably than another because of a protected characteristic.
Indirect discrimination means putting in place, a rule or policy or way of doing things that has a worse impact on someone with a protected characteristic than someone without one, when this cannot be objectively justified.
Harassment is where there is unwanted behaviour related to a protected characteristic which has the purpose or effect of violating someone’s dignity or which creates a hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment. It does not matter whether or not this effect was intended by the person responsible for the conduct.
Associative discrimination is where the individual treated less favourably does not have a protected characteristic but is discriminated against because of their association with someone who does, eg the parent of a disabled child.
Perceptive discrimination is where the individual discriminated against or harassed does not have a protected characteristic but they are perceived to have a protected characteristic.
Third-party harassment occurs where a member or associate is harassed by third parties due to a protected characteristic.
Victimisation is treating someone unfavourably because they have taken some form of action relating to the Equality Act, ie because they have supported a complaint or raised a grievance under the Equality Act 2010, or because they are suspected of doing so. However, a member or associate is not protected from victimisation if they acted maliciously or made or supported an untrue complaint.
Failure to make reasonable adjustments is where a rule or policy or way of doing things has a worse impact on someone with a protected characteristic compared with someone who does not have that protected characteristic and has failed to make reasonable adjustments to enable the person to overcome the disadvantage.

By applying for KENRIC membership, you agree to abide by this EDI Policy.

Privacy Policy

    1.2 Inappropriate use of social media can pose risks to our confidential and proprietary information, our reputation and can jeopardise our compliance with legal obligations.

  5. Guidelines for responsible use of social media
    The following sections of the policy provide members with common-sense guidelines and recommendations for using social media responsibly and safely.
    5.1 We want you to help protect KENRIC's reputation. Members must not post disparaging or defamatory statements about:

    • KENRIC as an organisation

    • KENRIC Management Committee and members

    • KENRIC members past or present

    • KENRIC Meetup Group members and other event attendees

    • suppliers and vendors

    • other affiliates and stakeholders.

    Members should also avoid social communications that might be misconstrued in a way that could damage KENRIC's reputation, even indirectly.
    5.2 Members are personally responsible for what they communicate in social media. Remember that what you publish might be available to be read by other members of KENRIC, volunteers, current and future employers and social acquaintances for a long time. Keep this in mind before you post content.
    5.3 Social media posts may also be shared and redistributed by the persons listed in paragraph 5.2, and thus reach a far wider audience than originally intended.
    5.4 Circulating or posting the following via KENRIC social media is prohibited:

    • images of members or event attendees without their explicit consent (This includes images of people in the background of photographs who are identifiable)

    • chain letters or other spam

    • commercial, religious or political solicitations

    • promotion of outside organisations unrelated to KENRIC's work.

    5.5 A publicity consent form must be obtained prior to posting images or text which may be used to identify other people on social media. If you are unsure whether to post an image, please contact the Social Media & Communications Officer at info@kenriclesbians.org.uk
    5.6 KENRIC does not permit naming or tagging of KENRIC members, including KENRIC Meetup group members or event attendees in social media posts without the written consent of the person being named or tagged.
    5.7 There is no obligation for members to link their personal social media to any KENRIC social media.
    5.8 Members are not permitted to set up their own social media accounts using the name 'KENRIC' without prior consultation with the Social Media & Communications Officer or KENRIC Management Committee.
    5.9 If you disclose your affiliation as a member of KENRIC, you must also state that your views do not represent those of the organisation. For example, you could state, "the views in this posting do not represent the views of KENRIC."
    5.10 You are responsible for the security settings of any social media sites you use and should ensure they are set to the appropriate level if you wish to limit who can see your information.
    5.11 Remember that you must respect confidentiality at all times and protect confidential information. You should be mindful of General Data Protection Regulations and related issues. If in doubt, please refer to KENRIC's Privacy Policy or speak to the Social Media & Communications Officer. Confidential information includes things such as unpublished details about our work, details of current projects, future projects, financial information or information held on our supporters, members or members.
    5.12 Avoid posting comments about sensitive KENRIC related topics, such as our performance or finances. Even if you make it clear that your views do not represent those of our group, your comments could still damage our reputation.
    5.13 If you are uncertain or concerned about the appropriateness of any statement or posting, refrain from making the communication until you discuss it with the Social Media & Communications Officer.
    5.14 If you see content in social media that disparages or reflects poorly on KENRIC or our stakeholders, you should report it to the Social Media & Communications Officer. All members are responsible for protecting our reputation.
    5.15 Contact details of KENRIC members are subject to data protection, as set out in our Privacy Policy. Members are not permitted to share or disclose contact details of KENRIC volunteers or members without the explicit consent of the person concerned. If someone wishes to contact a KENRIC member or volunteer, you may take that person's contact details and pass that information to the relevant KENRIC member or volunteer.
     

  6. Photography at Events
    6.1 Please note that this section applies to photographs being taken at events on behalf of KENRIC, by the event organisers or other designated KENRIC photographer at the event. The guidelines for use of photography by ordinary event attendees is set out in section 5 of this policy.
    6.2 Public Events: at public events such as Pride parades and festivals, photographers are often present and KENRIC has no control over the use and distribution of photographs/video taken at such events. By participating in these events, attendees accept that they may be photographed at the event.
    KENRIC photographers may also take photographs at such events and these images may be used in our members' newsletter and on KENRIC social media, within the context of recording attendees participating in the event. At public events where there is no expectation of privacy, KENRIC photographers will not seek written consent from attendees when taking photographs.
    Any attendees who do not wish to be photographed should make themselves known to the KENRIC photographers at the event.
    6.3 KENRIC Events (Over 50 Attendees): at large KENRIC-organised events such as KENRIC parties, there will often be a photographer present taking photographs of the event and attendees. At such events, notices will be displayed, identifying the photographer and how the photographs will be used. Any attendees who do not wish to be photographed should make themselves known to the photographer at the event.
    6.4 KENRIC Events (50 or fewer Attendees): at small events such as the KENRIC Drop-In, photographs will sometimes be taken. At such events, written consent from individuals being photographed will be sought and recorded on a KENRIC publicity consent form. Where the individual being photographed is unrecognisable (eg. if they have their back to the camera, or they appear out of focus), written consent will not be sought.
    6.5 Consent: we respect our event attendees' right to privacy and there is no obligation for any event attendee to give consent to KENRIC for their photograph to be taken at any event or to be used by KENRIC for any purpose. A KENRIC publicity consent form will be treated as valid for a period of two years from the date of completion.
    6.6 Withdrawal of Consent: any event attendee who has given consent for KENRIC to use photographs of them, may withdraw or amend such consent at any time. Please note that any withdrawal or amendment of consent will be effective from the date of the withdrawal or amendment and will not apply retrospectively.
    To withdraw or amend consent for the use of photographs, please email the Social Media & Communications Officer at: info@kenriclesbians.org.uk

    Reasonable precautions have been taken to ensure information in this publication is accurate.

If relevant, we therefore recommend you take appropriate professional advice before taking any action on the matters covered herein.

Referrals/Partnerships Policy

KENRIC is frequently asked to post activities or information about other organisations. This is our policy concerning such requests.
 

  1. Most importantly the requesting organisation must operate in line with KENRIC's membership values of inclusivity and diversity.

  2. The referral should align with KENRIC's aims as laid out on our constitution:
    a. To create a vibrant and supportive community for lesbians by providing a mix of enriching and enjoyable social events.
    b. To encourage networking between its members and to arrange events, Meetings discussions and other activities.
    c. To support other non-profit-making lesbian groups.
    d. To improve public knowledge and understanding about lesbians.

  3. The referral should preferably be exclusively for lesbians but we will consider organisations where there is a separate lesbian section or significant number of lesbian members.

  4. The referral should be to a non-political organisation. KENRIC is an established social organisation and does not get involved in politics.

  5. The referral should not result in any material benefit, financial or otherwise, to KENRIC as an organisation or to members of the Management Committee (MC). This does not include the provision of free or discounted tickets for members which where possible should be allocated to members who are not on the MC. Any such gifts must be declared and a register kept by the Information Officer.

  6. Ideally the referral should have a nationwide coverage although we will accept regional referrals if they meet our other criteria.

  7. The requesting organisation should transparently share their reason for the request and explain the benefit to our members.


 As long as the above criteria are met any MC member may approve a request without consulting other MC members, unless they wish to do so, and must inform MC of the request and outcome.

Refund Policy

Tickets to KENRIC-organised and KENRIC-run events are non-refundable except in the following circumstances:
 

  • an event is cancelled

  • an event is moved to another date and/or time

  • there is a material change to the acts scheduled to appear at an event or to the venue (i.e. the event is 'significantly changed' as determined by the KENRIC Management Committee).

 
Any refund will be issued to the named ticket-holder and will be for the face value of the tickets purchased, excluding any booking fees.
