Equal Opportunies Policy

Vision Statement:

We are committed to promoting equal opportunities in our organisation, whilst valuing diversity and encouraging fairness and justice. Our organisation wants equal chances for everyone to work, learn and live free from discrimination and victimisation and will combat discrimination throughout the organisation and help to overcome discriminatory barriers wherever possible.

In seeking to achieve this vision, Rubicon Developments Ltd will strive to:
Encourage equality of opportunity for all people and actively promote good relations, whilst eliminating any conditions, procedures and individual behaviour that can lead to discrimination even where there was no intent to discriminate, with particular regard to: race; gender; disability; sexuality; age; religion and belief.

Whilst recognising that individuals may experience disadvantage on more than one level, we will strive to offer services fairly to all people, ensuring that anyone in contact with the organisation is treated with respect, making provision for those groups within the community whose needs and expectations are less well met.

Our organisation will comply with all legislation relating to discrimination and the promotion of equality, and followi the codes of practice issued to support this legislation. We will ensure that mechanisms are in place for responding to complaints of discrimination and harassment from employees and the public and make this policy known to all Rubicon Developments Ltd employees, job applicants, customers and partner organisations.

Rubicon Developments Ltd will operate procurement practices and partnership arrangements that ensure others commissioned to provide services for our organisation, have similar policies that cover equal opportunities. We will also ensure that all employees are recruited and promoted on the basis of ability and other objective relevant criteria and that all our employees who are part of the recruitment selection panel are trained on equalities issues.

Responsibility

The Equal Opportunities Policy is covered by the Directors of Rubicon Developments Ltd, who will review it’s content on a regular basis.
