Introduction
North Manchester Community Partnership is an equal opportunity business taking into account the diversity within our workforce, customers and learners.
We believe that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of their religion, beliefs, age gender, race, disability or sexual orientation.
Commitment to Equality & Diversity
The Equality & Diversity Policy requires commitment from everyone within the company. All employees, volunteers or any representative of NMCP are responsible for the implementation and effective operation of this policy, and copies can be obtained from our Administration upon request.
This policy and the legislation it represents, will be taken into account during the design and development of all our manuals and literature.
Our Responsibilities
As an employer we ensure that we have a workplace where our staff/volunteers feel valued, respected and included. Upon commencement of their employment / volunteering, staff/volunteers will be informed of the existence of this Policy and the company’s expectations of them under its terms. Harassment, exclusion and bullying will not be tolerated on any level. All staff should feel comfortable at work and always be treated with dignity and respect.
We will ensure that fair standards of employment practice and proper records of employment decisions are maintained.
We will deliver training on new and revised legislation to all of our staff.
We will treat all our business partners, customers and learners with respect, courtesy and consideration at all times.
Employees’ & Volunteers Responsibilities
All of our employees/volunteers must adhere to and comply with this policy and the spirit in which it is written.
Employees/volunteers must treat all colleagues and customers with courtesy, respect and consideration at all times.
If employees/volunteers believe that any form of discrimination is taking place within the workplace, we expect them to report this to senior management immediately.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
You can expect to be treated with respect, courtesy and consideration at all times by our staff and we expect you to treat our staff in the same way.
You will not be discriminated against, or treated less favourably in any way on the grounds of your religion, beliefs, age, gender, race, disability, or sexual orientation.
Wherever possible, specialist support will be provided where necessary, e.g. equipment adaptation, venue access consideration, alternative methods of assessment verification.
The Centre will deliver the qualification without prejudice or bias to any learner or groups of learners.
