Our Commitment
North Manchester Community Partnership is committed to the idea of equal opportunities for all. Our policy is to make sure that no customer, member of staff or person involved or associated with NMCP receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of:
- Religious belief or political opinion
- Race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins)
- Disability
- Gender, including gender reassignment
- Marital or civil partnership status
- Having or not having dependants
- Sexual orientation
- Age
North Manchester Community Partnership’s is opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination. We believe in human rights for all those connected with this organisation and all members of society. No action shall be taken against them by any person connected with NMCP which would devalue their contribution to society and to this organisation, or lead to a loss of their own self-respect, or respect for them from others. Responsibility for making sure that North Manchester Communities Partnership fulfils its obligations under this Policy rests with John Curtin
Who does the Policy apply to?
All individuals within this organisation are responsible for compliance with this Policy, and for the positive attitude it requires. All external persons connected with NMCP are encouraged to hold the same responsibility and commitment.
How will we know if the Policy is working?
The working of the Equal Opportunities Policy will be monitored by NMCP on an annual basis, or sooner if necessary.
Dealing with complaints
It is recognised that many individuals may be unwilling to make a complaint regarding equal opportunities, for a variety of reasons, including:
- Fear that others will consider that behaviour trivial
- Fear of retaliation and/or public humiliation
- Fear that the complaint will not be taken seriously
Such concerns may make an individual choose to leave the organisation, or change their job.
