Equal Opportunities Policy

Daniel Connal llp recognises that it is essential to provide equal opportunities to all persons without discrimination. Set out below is the organisation’s position on equal opportunity in all aspects of employment, including recruitment and promotion, and provides guidance and encouragement to employees at all levels to act fairly and prevent discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, marital status, disability as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, part-time and fixed term contract status, age, sexual orientation or religion.

We recognise that discrimination can be direct or indirect. Both forms of discrimination must be avoided.

It is the policy of Daniel Connal llp to ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of sex, race, marital status, disability, age, part-time or fixed term contract status, sexual orientation or religion, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements that cannot be shown to be justifiable. The organisation is committed not only to its legal obligations but also to the positive promotion of equality of opportunity in all aspects of employment.

The organisation recognises that adhering to the Equal Opportunities Policy, combined with relevant employment policies and practices, maximises the effective use of individuals in both the organisation’s and employees’ best interests. Daniel Connal llp recognises the great benefits in having a diverse workforce with different backgrounds, solely employed on ability.
