Anti-Racism Statement

Vaticinate is an anti-racist organisation and strives to contribute to the growing collective awareness against all forms of racism. This means we are committed to the mission of discussing, tackling, and responding to racism when we see or experience it. We explore, among other things, how prejudices, inequalities, and racism are ingrained in technology. We also want to use our position as a media production company to inform the public about racism in order to encourage positive change. We do this through all our projects and programmes, and in collaboration with our current and future partners.

Freelancers and other volunteers

To carry out its work, VP seeks to appoint effective and appropriate freelancers, and sometimes to involve other volunteers in supporting roles, all of whom are required to accept fully the responsibilities of their commitment.

The overriding considerations in making all appointments shall be the safety and security of all concerned in production work, and their continued development in accordance with the Purpose and Values of VP.

Accordingly, all those whom VP accepts as volunteers must be ‘fit and proper’ persons to undertake the duties of the particular position to which they have been appointed.

Within these constraints, and those imposed by the need to ensure equal opportunities for all ….

No person volunteering their services should receive less favourable treatment on the basis of, nor suffer disadvantage by reason of:

— age;

— class or socio-economic status;

— ethnic origin, nationality (or statelessness) or race;

— gender (including gender reassignment);

— marital or civil partnership status;

— sexual orientation;

— disability (including mental or physical ability);

— political belief;

— pregnancy;

— religion or belief (including the absence of belief).
