Our processes to achieve this
The Board of Trustees and Executive Board are responsible for ensuring that Metanoia Institute implements policies for equality, diversity and inclusion and operates within the legal framework for equality.

This committee has responsibility for reporting, developing policies and processes, receiving and monitoring statistics, and informing the wider community.
