The aim of this Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement is to communicate the commitment of the Trustees and Staff of The Silversmiths & Jewellers Charity to the promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion across all of its activities.
The Silversmiths & Jewellers Charity operates as a charity in line with all current legislation.
It is our policy to provide an inclusive environment to all, irrespective of:

- Pregnancy, maternity or parental status
- Race (including colour, caste, nationality, ethnic or national origin)
- Religion or belief

We are fundamentally opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination including direct and/or indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
- This equal opportunities policy will be implemented across all aspects of the organisation’s work, including:
- the appointment of members to its Board of Trustees
- the appointment of staff members, their conditions of service and employment procedures
- all forms of grant giving, should you meet the occupation, financial and situation criteria set by the charity

Intrinsic to our charitable purpose is the underpinning ideal that The Silversmiths & Jewellers Charity will be open to all within these and the wider industries.
