Policy

Collinge & Co will provide its colleagues and apprentices with an inclusive working and learning environment in which fairness and tolerance are the norm, and where discrimination and oppressive behaviour are not tolerated.

The purpose of this policy is to outline our commitment to provide equal opportunities for all and recognise and value the diversity of everyone. Collinge & Co will operate inclusive working practices, services and learning programmes. This will sometimes mean treating people differently, in order to ensure fairness and avoid discrimination, such as making reasonable adjustments to accommodate someone with a disability.

This commitment covers all who work for Collinge & Co and all who Collinge & Co works for, including our clients, apprentices, supplier’s employees and employers.

We will achieve our commitment by:

• Opposing all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination
• Acting to remove any identified barriers that will impede progress in achieving our purpose
• Creating a positive, safe, inclusive, accessible working environment and culture that promotes dignity and respect for all
• Not tolerating any form of intimidation, bullying or harassment
• Protecting the legal rights of stakeholders.
• Ensuring those who may require additional support through disadvantage, neurodiversity, health or other needs, are provided with appropriate guidance and assistance.

Collinge & Co will meet their obligations under UK anti-discrimination legislation. The company, and its employees, will not discriminate against the following protected characteristics:

• Gender
• Disability
• Race
• Religion & Belief
• Age
• Pregnancy / Maternity
