Equality Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Savera UK is committed to providing equality of opportunity, outcomes and experiences and to fostering good relations for our diverse community. We want to maintain an inclusive culture to ensure that all of our staff, as well as those that seek to apply to work with us, are treated fairly and do not experience unlawful discrimination on the basis of their protected characteristic(s).
The principles of non-discrimination and equality of opportunity also apply to the way in which we treat service users, suppliers, partners, stakeholders and former colleagues.
Our approach to equality, diversity and inclusion builds on the Equality Act 2010, which provides a legal framework to protect people from discrimination, harassment and victimisation in the workplace and wider society on the grounds of:
-
Age
-
Disability
-
Gender reassignment
-
Marriage or civil partnership
-
Pregnancy and maternity
-
Race (includes race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national
origins)
-
Religion or belief including philosophical belief and a lack of belief
-
Sex
-
Sexual orientation
In addition to being unjust, Savera UK believes discrimination on the grounds of these characteristics represents a lost opportunity to draw on rich and diverse perspectives and experiences, and potentially denies individuals the opportunity to reach their full potential. We believe that discrimination and disadvantage can take different forms and are not always overt or intended; nevertheless, the impact can be profound.
In recognising that everyone is different, we value the unique contribution that each individual’s experience, knowledge and skills can bring.
