Equal Opportunities
We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all colleagues and job applicants. We aim to create a working environment in which all individuals are able to make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit. It is unlawful to discriminate directly or indirectly in recruitment or employment because of age, disability, sex, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment, race (which includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins), sexual orientation, religion or belief, or because someone is married or in a civil partnership. These are known as "protected characteristics". The principles of non-discrimination and equality of opportunity also apply to the way in which you treat visitors, guests, customers, suppliers and former colleagues.
