Policy for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We aim to encourage, value and manage Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination, harassment or victimisation.

It is our aim to ensure that no employee, job applicant or candidate receives less favourable facilities or treatment (either directly or indirectly) in recruitment or employment on grounds of age, disability, gender / gender reassignment, marriage / civil partnership, pregnancy / maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation (the protected characteristics)

Our Commitment:

To create an inclusive culture where everyone can be valued for who they are and in which individual differences and the contributions of all our staff are recognised and valued.
Our recruitment, selection and assessment process will be based entirely on skills and competencies of the specific roles and appointments will be transparent and based entirely on merit.
Every employee is entitled to a working environment that promotes dignity and respect to all. No form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated.
Third-party harassment, concerning our staff or candidates, relating to a protected characteristic will not be tolerated. The employee concerned should inform their line manager at once and Change will fully investigate and take all reasonable steps to ensure such harassment does not happen again.

For Candidates and Clients:

Our staff will not discriminate directly or indirectly, or harass candidates or clients because of age, disability, gender / gender reassignment, marriage / civil partnership, pregnancy / maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation in the provision of Change’s goods and services
Job advertisements used will be non-discriminatory. Similarly on and offline advertisements will be diverse and inclusive, targeting all suitable potential job applicants.
Any selection criterion is based upon merit and the ability to do the job, regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or philosophical belief.
No job applicant or employee shall receive less favourable treatment than any another person does, on grounds that are discriminatory, in any form.
