Pedwar Ltd. is committed to equal opportunity, fair treatment and a working environment free from unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
This statement applies to recruitment, any future employment relationship, the engagement of contractors or consultants and day-to-day dealings with clients, suppliers and other professional contacts.
Pedwar will not unlawfully discriminate because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. Decisions will be based on relevant capability, conduct, business requirements and the nature of the work.
Where Pedwar recruits or commissions work, requirements will be described as clearly and objectively as practicable. Reasonable adjustments will be considered for disabled applicants, contractors or other participants where they are needed to provide fair access to a process or working arrangement.
Terms, selection decisions and access to opportunities will not be influenced by an irrelevant protected characteristic.
People dealing with Pedwar should be treated with dignity and respect. Discriminatory language, harassment, bullying or retaliation for raising a genuine concern will not be accepted in work connected with the company.
A person who believes this statement has not been followed should contact the director through the Pedwar contact page. The concern will be considered promptly, impartially and with appropriate confidentiality. Where another organisation is involved, Pedwar may need to coordinate with that organisation while limiting disclosure to what is necessary.
This statement is approved by the director of Pedwar Ltd. and will be reviewed when the company’s operating structure changes or when legal or practical developments make an update appropriate.
