Equal Opportunities Policy Statement

1.         We are fully committed to:

• Providing equal opportunities to all employees throughout their employment, including in the recruitment, training and promotion of employees; and
• Eliminating discrimination in the workplace, whether on grounds of disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, race, colour, religion or belief, age, national or ethnic origin, gender reassignment, part-time status or fixed-term status.

 2.        Any allegations of discrimination on any of those grounds will be treated seriously, and dealt with confidentially and speedily.

3.        We will not ignore, or treat lightly, grievances or complaints from members of a particular group on the assumption that they are over-sensitive about discrimination.
