Quality Policy

Qi China International follows a thorough quality assurance policy to assist provision of the best possible services for our members, users, and the public. Our quality assurance policy involves on-going assessment of such matters as health and safety at our venues, and listening and responding to those who use our services, to make these as effective and user-friendly as possible.

Our instructors are encouraged to take responsibility for what they do, on the basis of knowing what to do [in given service provision contexts], and how to do it. Instructors are encouraged to be involved with furthering the work and aims of Qi China International, by contributing their own ideas, and where appropriate, to take up the training and development opportunities Qi China International provides.

We believe in the value of recognised quality standards in the public domain and will work to meet them as our classes and services grow. We enthusiastically support statutory requirements which play such an important part in facilitating effective quality assured services.

Equal Opportunities and Anti-Discrimination Policy

Qi China International is committed to the fullest support of the aims and objectives of the Commission for Racial Equality,the Equal Opportunities Commission and the Disability Rights Commission. We share their vision of a multicultural society in which equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination on grounds of race, age, disability, religion or belief, gender and sexual orientation are the norm and every member of society’s natural right. We are committed to working with these bodies in such fields as survey, keeping abreast of policy initiatives and enacting their conclusions.

Qi China enthusiastically promotes and provides Equal Opportunities in the classes it runs and the services it provides
Why do we support Equal Opportunities?

Equal opportunities are a matter of rights and responsibilities which benefit society as a whole as well as the individual citizen. Discrimination on grounds of race, age, disability, religion or belief, gender and sexual orientation is still far too common: a negative phenomenon which harms society by causing alienation, fear, anger, loss of potential and a sense of powerlessness and associated social and psychological problems.

Tai-Ji (Tai Chi) is renowned for its health benefits, and cultivation of a sense of well-being. It forms a uniquely valuable means of bringing together those of different race, religion and gender, the able-bodied, and the less able-bodied, uniting them as brothers and sisters in the positive learning environment of the training class. In a very practical way, Tai-Ji assists those with many different health conditions to play a fuller part in society than would otherwise be the case, thereby not merely supporting equality of opportunity, but making a tangible difference to its realisation in the lives of its practitioners.

Tai-Ji and Qi-Gong, in addition to their many medical and relaxation benefits, also teach their practitioners the social and psychological benefits of self-discipline, competition with themselves rather than with others. In particular, they encourage them to develop a wholesome sense of being at peace with themselves, which consequently enhances the way they relate to others; in this way directly providing the ideal means for promoting and realising Equal Opportunities.
