Discrimination, Racism and Harassment Reporting Process
Holland Bloorview pledges zero tolerance with respect to acts of prejudice, discrimination or racism and signed the BlackNorth Initiative pledge in 2020, to dismantle anti-Black systemic racism and create opportunities for the Black, Indigenous and racialized communities. To date, we have established a Workplace Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Policy and updated the Workplace Anti-Harassment Policy; launched an independent and confidential process for reporting experiences of workplace discrimination, racism and harassment; and created a human rights and equity navigator role to provide support, guidance and training to Holland Bloorview stakeholders about the reporting process.
We also work closely with our system partners and have representatives at the Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network (TAHSN) anti-racism advisory committee, Kids Health Alliance EDI Community of Practice and a provincial Paediatric Health Equity Data Working Group which focuses on creating guidance to planning and implementing demographic data collection in healthcare settings.
