The following policy was approved by the committee of EPSC on 23^rd September 2007.

Elmbridge Phoenix Swimming Club is committed to treat every individual equally within the context of their activity, regardless of sex, ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation or political persuasion.

The club will ensure that equity as stated in the club rules is incorporated in all aspects of its activities and also recognises and adopts the Sport England definition of Sports Equity:

Sports equity is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. It is about changing the culture and structure of sport to ensure it becomes equally accessible to everyone in society.

Elmbridge Phoenix Swimming Club is committed to everyone having the right to enjoy their sport in an environment free from any threat of discrimination, intimidation, harassment, and abuse.

All Elmbridge Phoenix Swimming Club members have a clear responsibility to challenge discriminatory behaviour, and promote equality of opportunity.

The club will deal with any form of incidence of discrimatory behaviour seriously, according to the club disciplinary procedures.
