Inclusion, Diversity, and Anti-Discrimination Statement
• Raleigh Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) recognizes the importance of affording equity, equal opportunity and fair treatment to all present and potential members.
• Raleigh GAA aims to ensure that all people irrespective of their age, gender, ability, disability, race, religion, ethnic, origin, creed, color, nationality, social status or sexual orientation have a genuine and equal opportunity to participate in Gaelic Games at all levels and in all roles. That is, as a beginner, participant, or performer, and as a coach, official, referee, manager, administrator, or spectator.
• It is the aim of Raleigh GAA in its relationships with its members and supporters, and in the provision of its services, not to disadvantage any individual by imposing – through direct or indirect discrimination – any conditions or requirements which cannot be justified.
• Direct discrimination is defined as treating a person less favorably than others are or would be treated in the same or similar circumstances.
• Indirect discrimination occurs when a requirement or condition is applied which whether intentional or not, adversely affects a considerably larger proportion of people of one age, gender, ability, disability, race, religion, ethnic, origin, creed, color, nationality, social status, or sexual orientation and cannot be justified on other grounds.
As such Raleigh GAA strives to:
• Provide a welcoming and open atmosphere for ALL club members
• Create an inclusive atmosphere, in which all members have a sense of belonging, of being comfortable, and of being part of something they value.
• Encourage diversity through the accommodation and celebration of our
differences.
Statement of Responsibility
Raleigh GAA expects all those acting on behalf of the organization to adhere to this policy. In pursuance of this policy the Raleigh GAA Board reserves the right to address any form of discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age, gender, ability, race, religion, ethnic origin, creed, nationality, social status or sexual orientation, that is perpetrated at any club function, in accordance with the Raleigh GAA Inclusion and Diversity grievance procedures.
