EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES STATEMENT
1.0 Purpose
VSO is committed to equal opportunities and therefore considers equal opportunity practice to be integral to all aspects of working life. VSO aims to ensure that neither applicant nor employee is discriminated against, either directly or indirectly, on the grounds of gender, marital status, racial or ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, age, or trade union activity where these or any other factors are irrelevant to the post in question. Working procedures which ensure that individuals are treated on the basis of the knowledge, skills and aptitudes relevant to their jobs will be kept under review.
VSO is committed to action to make this policy fully effective. The success of the policy is dependent upon the support and co-operation of all staff.
