I.D.E.A.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Action.
Similar to our purpose we are on a path to make a positive and long-lasting difference in fostering an anti-racism workplace. As a start we have:
Expanded our training, learning and development of staff and foster parents
- Delivered interactive “Table Talks.” Hairstory youth amplifiers, Key Assets staff and foster parents, shared their experience of racism in Canada and systemic racism in child welfare
- Anti-racism training with consultant diversity and inclusion experts
Adopted the Global Diversity & Inclusion Benchmarks as a way to measure and ensure we are in fact achieving change
- Established an Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Committee
- Review and updated key policies to ensure they were inclusive and equitable
- Annual allocation of resources and funds to support our growth
- Contracted diversity and inclusion experts for guidance
Committed to increased diversity amongst our staff
- Changed the process of recruitment from positing to interviewing
- Conducted a survey of staff on Key Assets inclusion, diversity and equity in the workplace
- Developed a sub-committee to address survey feedback
