We are committed to observe as far as possible:
• The Commission for Race Equality’s Code of Practice for Employment
• The Disability Rights Commission’s Code of Practice for Employment
• The Disability Rights Commission’s Code of Practice for the Rights of Access to Goods, Services, Facilities and Premises

Workers, job applicants, visitors, clients and customers will be treated fairly, openly and honestly, and with dignity and respect.
No job applicant or worker will receive less favourable treatment on grounds of race, gender, age or disability. Equality of opportunity is about good employment practice and makes sound business sense. Steps will be taken to make sure all business practices ensure equal opportunities.
Recruitment, training and promotion opportunities will be made as widely available as possible. Selection criteria for employment, training and promotion opportunities will be entirely related to the job.
Employment decisions on recruitment, promotion and training will be made solely on the basis of merit.
Everyone has the right to work and do business in an environment free of unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation. We will not tolerate such behaviour under any circumstances.
Disciplinary action, including dismissal, may be taken against any worker found responsible for harassment, discrimination or victimisation.
Any worker or trainee who believes he or she is being discriminated against, victimised or harassed should raise the matter through the company’s complaints procedure.
All employees, volunteers and learners have a personal responsibility to uphold the ideals of this policy by ensuring that their behaviour is appropriate, fair and respectful.
We will regularly review our Equal Opportunities Policy in consultation with members of the Equal Opportunities Forum, Union representatives and other external bodies as appropriate.
