Kirsty’s Kitchen Cornwall CIC

Effective date: 15 October 2026  |  Last updated: 15 October 2026

Kirsty’s Kitchen is committed to treating people fairly, with dignity and respect. As a community interest company providing hot meal deliveries in Cornwall, we want our service and our workplace to be welcoming and accessible.

Our commitment

We aim to make decisions fairly and to provide our services and opportunities without unlawful discrimination. Our approach is informed by the Equality Act 2010 and the protections it provides in work and wider society.

We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation. We will take concerns seriously and respond appropriately.

Who this statement covers

This statement applies to people who use or enquire about our meal service, their families and representatives, our employees, job applicants, volunteers, suppliers and other people we work with.

Fair and respectful treatment

We will treat people as individuals and will not make assumptions about them because of a protected characteristic. Protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 include age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

We will aim to make recruitment, work-related decisions and day-to-day interactions fair. We expect everyone representing Kirsty’s Kitchen to treat others respectfully.

Access to our service

We will consider reasonable adjustments that can help disabled people access or use our service. If you have an access need, please tell us so we can discuss what may help. We will also aim to communicate clearly and consider reasonable requests for information in a different format or by a different method.

We recognise that people may have dietary needs connected to health, disability, religion, culture or personal choice. Please discuss these with us before ordering. We will give clear information about meals and their ingredients and explain where we cannot meet a particular requirement.

Raising a concern

If you believe you have been treated unfairly or have experienced discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation in connection with Kirsty’s Kitchen, please contact us. We will listen, consider the concern fairly and take appropriate action. We will handle information sensitively and share it only where needed to respond.

Responsibility and review

The directors are responsible for this statement. Everyone working with or representing Kirsty’s Kitchen is expected to support it. We will review the statement periodically and when our services or legal requirements change.
