Equal Opportunities Policy
It is the intention of this Company to ensure that its’ employees are aware of and will comply with all aspects of the Equal Opportunities Policy. We will endeavour to offer employment vacancies to all ethnic races of both sexes whether married or not.

We will ensure that our employment policies and procedures do not discriminate intentionally or unintentionally.
We will recognise the religious and cultural needs of our employees.

We will take the necessary disciplinary action where there is evidence of any racial or sexual discrimination, abuse or harassment.

We will keep records of all applicants who apply for work or training.
Each year we will examine how we advertise vacancies and select people to work or train, to ensure that there is no discrimination and will review progress with our Equal Opportunities Policy.
If there is below average proportion of ethnic minority employees/trainees or applicants, we will obtain advice on how to encourage applicants from such groups.
We will provide information on how we operate our Equal Opportunities Policy to any interested parties.
