How can the EDC support me?
The EDC have set up an informal support system for ACAT members. The aim of the support system will be to provide a safe space whereby members can receive informal support and discuss difficulties around inequalities.
This support system is therefore not intended as an alternative to more formal channels of support, such as the ethics committee.
How do I access this support?
Members can send equality and diversity queries to the chair of EDC via the member register on the ACAT website (please put ‘E & D Query’ in the subject line).
What happens once I have made contact?
The chair or another member of the committee will aim to respond to emails within 72 hours (it may take longer if emails are sent over the weekend). When making contact please give your name, and preferred contact details.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality of the member emailing will be held with the highest regard. However in order to support the individual effectively it may be necessary to share the individual’s concerns with members of the E&D committee. If this is the case, consent to share information will be sought from the individual at the time of contact. Furthermore, as the aim of the system is to provide informal and confidential support, we will only keep members’ contact details or correspondence with their consent, and until they no longer need support for that difficulty.
