As an employer of staff, and as a deployer of volunteers, we aim to ensure that all job applicants, staff and volunteers do not suffer unfair discrimination because, for example, of their race, colour; nationality; ethnic origin or religious belief; social class or caste; age; disability; sexual orientation (including lesbians and gay men); marital status or family situation; or gender

We aim to ensure that all people with whom we work are valued for their contributions and are given the opportunity to realise their full potential within the organisation.

Recruitment, selection and other procedures try to ensure that individuals are given equal opportunity in recruitment, training and promotion, and are treated on the basis of their relevant abilities and merits according to the requirements of the job.

Undercurrents is committed to a programme of action to make the policy effective and to this end constantly reviews the procedures, practices and guidelines which underpin tlie policy and monitors the results as appropriate.

The principles of equal opportunities will apply to recruitment, promotion, transfer, training and all terms and conditions of employment.

Undercurrents believes that following a policy of equality of opportunity will benefit not only the individual but also benefit and enrich the whole organisation.
