Equal Opportunities Policy

The Company is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment and is opposed to the application of any form of less favourable treatment of employees or job applicants on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, sexual orientation, married status, disability, age, religion or belief.

 
The Company will ensure that individuals are selected, trained, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.  All employees will be encouraged to take advantage of any relevant opportunities to improve their position at work.

In furtherance of its commitment to equal opportunities the Company issues to all its employees a detailed Dignity at Work Policy and Procedure which is reviewed and updated as and when appropriate.

Employees are expected to accept their personal responsibility for the practical application of equal opportunities at work, but specific responsibility falls upon management and any individuals professionally involved in recruitment and employee administration.

The policy has also been produced as a separate document and is on public display.
