Equal Opportunities Policy
In pursuance of equality of opportunity, Atlas Rail Components Ltd will have regard to all appropriate legislation, for example…
- The Disabled Persons Employment Act 1974
- The Sex Discriminations Act 1975
- The Race Relations Act 1976
- The Equal Pay Act (amended 1984)
- The Disability Discrimination Act 1995
However, Atlas Rail Components Ltd recognises that in order to put Equal Opportunities into practice, it is necessary to do more than observe the law. We have therefore devised a Policy Statement, which expresses a commitment to the promotion of equality of opportunity:
- Implementation
- The policy is implemented through the Directors whose function is to ensure that:
- Any person or group seeking services, employment or contracts with the company will be treated exactly the same as any other person or group, whatever their race, colour, religion, gender, marital status, ethnic or national origin, age, disability or sexual orientation.
- Consideration is given to recruit staff at all levels from under-represented or minority groups and where necessary provide training to help achieve this aim.
- When recruiting employees, associates, consultants, sub contractors and other agencies to work on behalf of the Company, we will be mindful of our commitment to equality of opportunity.
- All forms of harassment, against or by an employee, associate, consultant, sub contractor or client will be dealt with promptly, firmly and sensitively
- No action will be taken without first consulting the person being harassed. We will support and protect the victim. Where the perpetrator is known and is an employee, associate, consultant, sub contractor or client and/or is not known, we will take every reasonable practical step to ascertain who was involved in harassing the victim and will take appropriate action.
- In terms of the services provided by this company and its employees, associates, consultants and sub contractors we recognise that it is generally unlawful to discriminate in matters of employment and training either in favour of or against a particular group.
- The policy is implemented through the Directors whose function is to ensure that:
- Review
- This policy will be reviewed annually by the Directors
