Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

SafeHaven's commitments on fair hiring, training and impartial service.

Effective:

At SafeHaven, safety starts with respect. Our bilingual team of more than 270 people across seven provinces reflects the diversity of the communities we protect.

  • Fair hiring: we hire on merit and welcome applicants of every background, including women, Indigenous peoples, racialized people, people with disabilities, 2SLGBTQI+ people, newcomers and veterans.
  • Training: every officer receives training in cultural awareness, de-escalation and bias prevention.
  • Impartial service: our officers serve everyone with dignity regardless of origin, language, religion or identity.
  • Languages: services in English and French, and other languages as our team allows.
  • Accountability: any discriminatory conduct can be reported through our complaints procedure.
