At Crafts Council, we champion the role of craft skills and knowledge to enrich individual lives and change the world for the better. Established as a non-profit organisation in 1972, for 50 years we’ve represented makers, craft enthusiasts and sector professionals.
As we look to the future, we are committed to social justice and removing historic barriers so that all communities can engage with our charitable mission. Our small team work hard to create welcoming spaces online and in person. We recognise that some of the topics we cover can challenge opinion. We encourage debate and feedback, but we do not tolerate abuse or discrimination.
If negative situations arise we will act as follows:
- We will not tolerate our staff being subject to any behaviour that is racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic or transphobic. Such incidents will be escalated to our senior management team, who will decide to respond – whether privately or publicly.
- We reserve the right to remove any posts, comments or messages on our online platforms that we consider irrelevant, offensive, hateful or disrespectful to our community.
- Any threats of violence, vandalism or harm against employees and the building will not be tolerated and will be reported to police and/or local authorities.
