Equal Opportunities
"Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed
people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever
has." Margaret Mead.
Nothing is more ignorant than prejudice. Not only is it
plain wrong, it doesn't make good business sense either. The
broader the base of people, the broader the set of life experiences
and the more worthwhile the overall contribution.
We all have a responsibility to embrace and support this vision and
must continue to challenge behaviour and attitudes that prevent us
from achieving progress. Using fair, objective and innovative
employment practices, our aim is to ensure that:
- All employees and potential employees are treated fairly and
with respect at all stages of their employment
- All employees have the right to be free from harassment and
bullying of any description, or any other form of unwanted
behaviour, whether based on sex, trans-gender status, marital
status civil partnership status, pregnancy, race, disability, age,
political or religious belief or sexuality
- All employees have an equal chance to contribute and to achieve
their potential, irrespective of any defining feature that may give
rise to unfair discrimination.
