Equal Opporutnities Policy
The Company recognises that discrimination in the workplace, in any form, is
unacceptable and, in most cases, also unlawful. We have therefore adopted an Equal Opportunities Policy, to ensure that all job applicants, employees and clients/candidates
are treated fairly and without favour or prejudice. We are committed to applying this policy throughout all areas of employment; recruitment and selection, training, development and promotion. In all situations, people will be judged solely on merit or ability. The following sets down the key points of the policy, and any breach of the policy will lead to disciplinary action, which may include dismissal.
• Each and every employee has a duty to observe and apply the policy at all times.
• The policy will be implemented in accordance with the requirements of; the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, the Sex Discrimination Acts 1975 and 1986,
the Race Relations Act 1976 (amendment) Regulations 2003, and the Disability
Discrimination Act 1995 and 2005.
• Clients/candidates with special needs will be accommodated appropriately to ensure
they receive equal opportunity and access to a fair and comprehensive
training/assessment and where required granted confidentiality in relation to their
needs.
• To ensure that we reach the widest cross section of the community, all vacancies will
be advertised through the job centre, or independent media, as well as being
advertised internally.
• We will ensure that no job applicant, employee or client/candidate receives less
favourable treatment on the grounds of: race, colour, nationality, ethnic, or national
origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, political opinion/affiliation,
age or religion.
• Our induction process will be as simple and straight forward as possible and we will
not ask for unnecessary information.
• Each and every employee has an obligation to make a positive contribution towards
engendering an environment, of equal opportunity, throughout the business.
• We will not tolerate any breaches of this policy by clients/candidates and will
withdraw all services from any parties found to be in breach of the policy.
• The Appeals Procedure is available to any client/candidate who believes that they
have been discriminated against, and the Company would urge those individuals to
pursue their rights, through this channel.
