Accordingly, management will ensure that recruitment, selection, training, development and promotion procedures result in no job applicant or employee receiving less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability, trade union membership or non-membership, sex, sexual orientation, marital status or age. The organisation’s objective is to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and otherwise treated solely on the basis of their relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.

Management has the primary responsibility for successfully meeting these objectives by:

1. Not discriminating in the course of employment against employees or job applicants.
2. Not inducing or attempting to induce others to practise unlawful discrimination; and
3. Bringing to the attention of employees that they will be subject to action under the Disciplinary and Dismissal Procedure for discrimination of any kind.

Employees can contribute by:

1. Not discriminating against fellow employees, customers, suppliers or members of the public with whom they come into contact during the course of your duties.
2. Not inducing or attempting to induce others to practise unlawful discrimination; and
3. Reporting any discriminatory action.

The successful achievement of these objectives necessitates a contribution from everyone and all employees have an obligation to report any act of discrimination known to them.

If employees consider that they are a victim of unlawful discrimination they may raise the issue through the Grievance Procedure.
