Cartrefi Cymru - English version

Equal Opportunities

Cartrefi Cymru is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment.

Accordingly, management will ensure that recruitment selection, training, development and promotion procedures result in no job applicant or employee receiving less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or beliefs, disability, trade union membership or non membership, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age or being a part-time or fixed term worker. The objective is to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and otherwise treated solely on the basis of their relevant aptitudes, skills and abilities.

Management has the primary responsibility for successfully meeting these objectives by:

• not discriminating in the course of employment against employees or job applicants;

• not including or attempting to induce others to practice unlawful discrimination; and

• bringing to the attentions of the employees that they will be subject to action under the Disciplinary and Dismissal Procedure for discrimination of any kind.

Individual employees have the responsibility to ensure that they assist Cartrefi Cymru in successfully achieving these objectives and can contribute by:

• not discriminating in the course of employment against fellow employees, service users, suppliers or members of the public with whom they come into contact during the course of their duties;

• not including or attempting to induce others to practice unlawful discrimination; and

• reporting any discriminatory action to the appropriate Director or to the Director of Human Resources.

The successful achievement of these objectives necessitates a contribution from everyone and all employees have an obligation to report any act of discrimination known to them.

Employees who consider that they are a victim of unlawful discrimination may raise the issue through the Grievance Procedure.
