Safe Harbour
Safe Harbour is likened to “Block Watch” for businesses and public service agencies.
These locations are known in the community as places that have committed to treating all customers/clients with equitable treatment – hence the slogan: “Respect for All”.
Safe Harbour locations sign on to three key commitments:
- Equitable Treatment for All: Welcoming all clients and/or customers in a respectful manner. If a concern is expressed regarding a lack of respectful treatment, employers and staff take steps to address it.
- An Immediate Safe Place: for someone experiencing discrimination in or near the worksite which may include a place to sit, a glass of water, a phone to use, and access to a list of resources
- Prepared Employees and Worksites: preparing all staff to implement these commitments
