Recruitment
We will implement selection procedures that ensure this policy is observed. For UK we
will ensure that potential employees / Associates are eligible to work in the UK as
specified in the Asylum & Immigration Act 1996. Further we ensure that selection will
be measured only on the basis of the pre-defined job / project description, qualification
and/or experience specification criteria for the requirements of the post. Applicants
meeting these criteria will receive an interview and final selection will be based only on
the best fit for the criteria of the job / contract.
For Supplier
/ Sub-Contractor Selection
We will select suppliers on their capability to meet our and thus our clients'
requirements. To ensure this is adhered to, procedures are implemented to specify
requirements and selection will be on criteria that includes price, availability,
performance history, capability, experience / expertise and the submission of policy
statements where appropriate.
For Existing
Staff
It is the expectation that all existing members of staff, Associates and Trainers
will, through the normal course of their duties, observe this equal opportunities policy.
It should be noted that this policy must be adopted in all working relationships with All
other employees, clients, delegates and the general public. Failure to comply with any
element of this equal opportunities policy will result in the employee being disciplined
using the disciplinary and grievance procedure and in the case of contracted staff they
are liable to be in breach of contract .
