Equal Opportunities Policy

The Dental Practice, Anytown, is committed to providing equal opportunities in employment and to avoiding unlawful discrimination in employment and against customers. This policy is intended to assist The Dental Practice to put this commitment into practice. Compliance with this policy should also ensure that employees do not commit unlawful acts of discrimination.

Striving for Equality:

The Dental Practice will avoid unlawful discrimination in all aspects of employment including recruitment, promotion, opportunities for training, pay and benefits, discipline and selection for redundancy.

Employees and customers will not be discriminated against because of their gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or maternity.

Complaints:

The Dental Practice takes any complaints of discrimination very seriously. It is our policy to ensure that no job applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.

Review:

This policy will be reviewed annually and updated as required to incorporate changes in legislation or best practice.

Approval:

This Equal Opportunities Policy has been approved and endorsed by senior management at The Dental Practice.
