KidsAbility Diversity Statement
At
KidsAbility our vision is Potential Realized. For the potential of our clients
and families to be realized, we understand that their full identity must be
embraced and celebrated. KidsAbility is committed to honouring the ethnic and cultural
identities of all our clients and families, and we are continually working to
create cultural safety in all our clinical, educational, and social
environments. Our family-focused model of service recognizes and honours the
variety of family structures and gender identities of those who access our
services. KidsAbility is
committed to creating a more inclusive and barrier-free delivery of services
for clients and families of all physical and mental abilities, visible and
invisible.
KidsAbility is also committed to cultivating the potential of all our employees. We encourage our employees to be fully who they are, celebrate where they come from, and embrace their diverse family structures. We want an employee base that reflects the community in which we live and are working toward making that goal achievable by strengthening our connections to diverse community organizations and educational settings.
At KidsAbility we see diversity as a pathway to strength and equity, so we actively seek it out in all that we do. We actively look to understand our own gaps and biases, power and privilege. We acknowledge that we do not always meet our intentions and are committed to listening to the diverse voices of our clients, families, employees, and the larger community to continually improve our services and organizational culture. In all of this we will see our own potential realized.
