I am from another type of organisation

By becoming HIV Confident you will be able to demonstrate an enhanced commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. The charter mark will help you to amplify the work you are already doing to tackle social inequalities and to support the health and wellbeing of your staff.

You will also make sure that you are working within the law and not unintentionally discriminating against people living with HIV by contravening the Equality or Data Protection Acts.

Using the HIV Confident logo and engaging with media opportunities as part of the programme will enable you to demonstrate that you have created a stigma-free environment for your employees, and any service users.

All organisations follow a similar route to recognition:

• Commit: Your organisation signs a commitment to become HIV Confident.
• Survey: Our staff survey tool and accompanying communications resources can be used to enhance engagement and give you valuable insights.
• Review: Our policy toolkit will help you to check that you are complying with legislation in relation to HIV and help you to avoid any unintentional discrimination.
• Build knowledge: Our short eLearning module will enable your staff to update their knowledge about HIV and build their confidence to create a stigma free environment.
• Recognise and sustain: Once you let us know about your successes, we will recognise you as being HIV Confident. You can then update us annually to tell us how you are sustaining your commitment.

HIV Confident has a range of free, subsidised, and paid for memberships, which are tailored to the size and sector of your organisation. For fee paying organisations, fees range from £500 to £3000 for the registration year, and fees for renewal years range from £250 to £2000. We can talk to you about the appropriate fee structure for your organisation as well as any potential funding options.
