Equality & Diversity Policy

Introduction

ALL Delivered 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 and Diversity

The Equality & Diversity Policy requires commitment from everyone within the Company. Our Founders, Danielle McIvor & Pete Wittering, are jointly responsible for the implementation and effective operation of this policy and copies can be obtained upon request through our Get In Touch page.

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 staff feel valued, respected and included. Upon commencement of their employment, staff 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 our staff.

We will treat all our business partners, customers and learners with respect, courtesy and consideration at all times. 

Employees’ Responsibilities

All of our employees must adhere to and comply with this Policy and the spirit in which it is written.

Employees must treat all colleagues and customers with courtesy, respect and consideration at all times.

If employees believe that any form of discrimination is taking place within the workplace, we expect them to report this to senior management immediately or autonomously via our Whistle-blowing policy here.

Your Rights & 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 favorably in any way on the grounds of your religion, beliefs, age, gender, race, disability, or sexual orientation.

Recruitment

Wherever possible all vacancy advertisements will include an appropriate short statement on equal opportunity and diversity, and steps will be taken to ensure that knowledge of vacancies reaches all areas of the community. We will also endeavor to ensure that all vacancies are advertised both internally and externally simultaneously.

The selection criteria (job description and employee specification) for all roles will be kept under constant review to ensure that they are essential for the effective performance of the job.

Remuneration will be set for the advertised position before applicants are seen and selected.

Wherever possible, more than one person must be involved in the recruitment and selection process. In addition, the reasons for the selection and rejection of applicants for vacancies must be recorded.

Employee Training and Promotion

Whilst all training and employment opportunities will be offered strictly on merit, we will encourage underrepresented groups to apply for these opportunities within our company.

Wherever possible, efforts will be made to identify and remove unnecessary or unjustifiable barriers and provide appropriate facilities and conditions of service to meet the special needs of disadvantaged and/or underrepresented groups.

Objectives of the Policy

No applicant, employee or customer will receive less favorable treatment or be subjected to any form of discrimination.
All employees and customers will be given the help they need to attain their full potential wherever that is possible.
We secure the best employees for our needs by accessing all sections of the community.
We achieve an ability based workforce that is in line with the working population mix.

Feedback and Complaints

We will deal with any complaints of discrimination quickly and in a constructive manner.

Any feedback or complaints that we receive will be dealt with compassionately. We appreciate that this can be a difficult subject to raise and individuals may feel uncomfortable or intimidated. We are committed to ensuring that you feel able to come forward without fear.
