Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The success of the Scheme as an organisation depends upon the effective use of the abilities of each of our employees and diversity in teams.  With this in mind, the Scheme is committed to providing equality and fairness for all recruitment applicants and employees and not to discriminate against anyone because of their gender, sex, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity,  gender reassignment, race (including ethnic origin, colour, nationality and national origin), disability, sexual orientation, religion, belief, age or socio-economic background or status.  In addition, the Scheme will not discriminate against anyone who is associated with another individual who is protected under equality legislation.  We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.

All employees will be treated fairly and with respect.  Selection for employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be on the basis of aptitude and ability.  The Company is also committed to preventing discrimination of any type against its employees by third parties like suppliers, clients and the general public.

The responsibility for upholding this commitment is shared by, and is intended to benefit, every employee.

Wherever it is practical, the Scheme will make any reasonable changes to the work environment or work practices that prove necessary to ensure that we are an inclusive workplace.

Breaches of our Equal Opportunities Policy by an employee will be regarded as misconduct and could lead to disciplinary proceedings.  If an employee has any concern, personal or otherwise, about discrimination, they should speak to Senior Management for confidential advice.  Allegations of discrimination by an employee will be handled promptly, seriously and in confidence through the Company Disciplinary Policy and Procedure.  Allegations of discrimination by a third party should be made to Senior Management as promptly as possible after its first occurrence.

Employees are also required to complete online training to support their understanding of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and Unconscious Bias.
