Diversity and Inclusion

Girlguiding’s ambition for diversity and inclusion is to be a place where everyone is welcome, is free to be themselves, and has an equal sense of belonging.

Being inclusive is important to us, a big part of that is making sure we give everyone a chance to do amazing things, whoever they are and wherever they’re from.

We have volunteers who are here to support and provide guidance to our volunteers at all levels, to help make Girlguiding more inclusive and support our diverse members.

Girlguiding’s Including All web page contains some general resources and support for volunteers to enable you to include all members and give them a great guiding experience.

All members have a responsibility to follow Girlguiding’s Equality and Diversity Policy and Girlguiding members should not be disadvantaged by unjustifiable conditions or requirements, or experience less-favourable treatment because of any of the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010. So, please get in touch if you feel you need any support with this.

We do not currently have an inclusion adviser so if you need assistance please contact Carole, our county commissioner, who will ensure someone gets in touch to help.  Carole can be reached on county.commissioner@girlguidingessexsoutheast.org.uk
