Equal Opportunities
Policy
SHE Knows, Health and
Safety believes that equality of opportunity is fundamental to the development of
an environment in which those who work or study can achieve their full potential.
The pursuit of equality means that all forms of unfair discrimination will be challenged
in whatever form they arise. We believe
that inequality can arise across the whole range of our activities - in staff recruitment,
selection, dismissal, resources as well as in our NVQ, training & short course
activity. The use of language, gesture & other forms of symbolic behaviour can
also threaten equality.
SHE Knows, Health and
Safety wishes to ensure that individual potential can be encouraged & that staff
& candidates can act with confidence, competence & with open & critical
minds.
We will pursue not only
the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law in relation to disability, race,
colour, ethnic origin, sexuality, age, religion, gender or marital status.
All managers, staff &
candidates of SHE Knows, Health and Safety will be responsible for ensuring that
their actions are carried out in the spirit of this Policy.
All those involved in
guidance, assessment & verification processes will be responsible for ensuring
that equal opportunities issues are addressed in relation to those processes.
All marketing & other
published material will reflect this Policy.
SHE Knows, Health and
Safety will maintain processes for the monitoring of this Policy & will ensure
that the issue is a standing item at all Management Review meetings. The Policy
will be reviewed on a regular basis.
SHE Knows, Health and
Safety will look to monitor race, gender & disability in relation to staff &
candidate profiles &, within the confines of its client base, will take positive
action where necessary to redress any inequity.
