Equal Opportunities Policy
Introduction
Dafydd Lloyd considers all forms of discrimination to be unacceptable in the workplace. The Company is committed to providing equal opportunities throughout employment, including the remuneration, recruitment, training and promotion of staff. Dafydd Lloyd is also committed to ensuring that no employee receives less favourable treatment or is unlawfully discriminated against, on grounds of disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, colour, religious convictions, age, nationality or ethnic origin. All employees will be made aware of the provisions of this policy and are required to ensure that the policy is carried out properly. We will not ignore, or treat lightly, grievances or complaints from employees on the assumption that the individual is oversensitive about discrimination.
Recruitment and Promotion
We will ensure that information about vacant posts will be circulated as widely as possible in order that it may reach as wide a group as possible regardless of race, religion, sex, colour, age, marital status, nationality, ethnic origin, disability or sexual orientation.
No recruitment literature or advertisements will imply a preference for any one group of applicants unless there is a general occupational qualification which limits the post to a particular group, in which case this must be clearly stated. Where a particular qualification is required, Dafydd Lloyd will (as far as is reasonably practicable) state that a fully comparable qualification obtained overseas is as acceptable as a UK qualification.
We will comply with the Code of Practice of the Commission for Racial Equality and the Equal Opportunities Commission Code of Practice.
We will take all reasonable steps to recruit, employ and promote employees solely on the basis of ability, skill and qualification, without regard to any of the grounds referred to above.
We will avoid making any requirements when recruiting employees which would exclude a higher proportion of a particular sex or racial group.
