equal opportunities

All organisations are be obliged by law, not to discriminate against workers by reason of their age, gender (including transgender), marital status, disability, colour, race, nationality or ethnic or national origins and as such should put some time into putting together a comprehensive equal opportunities policy.

The equal opportunities policy should state a commitment to treating all workers fairly and respectfully and setting systems in place to provide the greatest possible access to equal opportunities.

This section provides links to websites which deal with the requirements of the law, how to develop and integrate a sound equal opportunities policy, how to deal with tribunal and court procedures, how to promote equality and tackle discrimination, and how to incorporate equality into the running of your organisation.
