360 Recruitment – Equality & Diversity Policy

360Rec-09 | 2024-2025

The Principles 360 Recruitment is committed to eliminating discrimination and encouraging diversity amongst our workforce and learners. Our aim is that our workforce and learners will be truly representative of all sections of society and each person feels respected and able to give of their best.

The purpose of this policy is to provide equality and fairness for all in our employment and training, and not to discriminate on grounds of sex, gender reassignment, marital status, pregnancy & maternity, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion or age. We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.

All employees and learners, whether part-time, full-time or temporary, will be treated fairly and with respect. Selection for employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be on the basis of aptitude and ability. All employees will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation.

Equality of access and opportunity for all is one of the core values of our organisation, and we are committed to raising the profile of Equal Opportunities and being pro-active to ensure fairness to all. This policy applies to learners, staff and partners.

We are committed to ensuring that all our strategies, policies, procedures and practices demonstrate impartiality and actively promote equality of opportunity particularly regarding gender, race, religion, stage of development, ability or disability, or sexual orientation. We recognise our legal obligations regarding the Equality Act 2010.

To achieve our Equal Opportunities Policy, we:

• have a process of ongoing monitoring and review
