Our commitment to inclusion

The Social Deck commits to taking action to be an inclusive and accessible business in policy and practice. We recognise our role in providing services that are accessible to and supportive of people from diverse backgrounds, and we commit to inclusive engagement and outreach.

As a responsible, for-purpose business, The Social Deck is committed to promoting diversity and representation, including in partnerships, outreach, and employment practices. We commit to fostering an inclusive, culturally safe workplace and to use our resources for the advancement of underrepresented voices.

These actions and policies for inclusive practice are not an additional service, but what The Social Deck recognises to be a minimum baseline of responsible business.
