Equal Opportunity Policy
A F Blakemore’s Equal Opportunities Policy recognises the basic obligations on an employer to provide fair treatment in employment matters to all current and potential employees.
This policy discourages the company from following any discriminatory practices, which may prevent the workforce from making full use of their skills and attributes. (It also ensures that the company complies with legal requirements and associated codes of practice).
Relevant Legislation, which needs to be considered are:
- Sex Discrimination Act 1975/76
- Race Relations Act 1976
- Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
- Disabled Persons (employment) Acts 1994 & 1958
- Disability Discrimination Act 1995
