Equal opportunity and non-discrimination policy.

The business recognises that discrimination is not only unacceptable, it is also unlawful.

The business's aim is to ensure that no job applicant or employee is discriminated against, directly or indirectly, on the grounds of colour, race, ethnic and national origins, nationality (citizenship), sex, sexual orientation or gender, being married, disability, religion or belief or being part-time.

By including this policy in the Employee Handbook, all employees are made aware that the business will act in accordance with all statutory requirements and take into account any relevant codes of practice.

All job applicants will be considered solely on their ability to do the job. Interview questions will not be of a discriminatory nature.

All promotions will be made on merit in line with the principles of the policy.

Employees who have a disability will receive the necessary help, within reason, to enable them to carry out their normal duties effectively. A specific Risk Assessment will be carried out with the disabled employee to ensure identification of any areas that may potentially pose hazards to the individual in carrying out their duties. The business may employ individuals with a disability to work on Client sites. In this event, it is the Clients' responsibility to ensure that should an emergency arise, any employee with a disability that requires assistance, is safely escorted from the premises.

This policy will be assessed at regular intervals to ensure that equality of opportunity is afforded to all employees.
