Equal opportunities

At Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, we believe in providing a safe and pleasurable working environment for all our employees.

We ensure that no job applicant, employee or worker receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, national or ethnic origins, gender, sexual orientation or perceived sexuality, marital status, disability, membership or non-membership of trade union, "spent conviction" of ex-offenders, class, age, politics, religion or belief.

Selection criteria and procedures will be reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated based on their relevant merits and abilities.

All employees will be given equal opportunity and, where appropriate and possible, special training to enable them to progress within the Charity. We are committed to a programme of action to make this policy effective to minimise the possibility of discrimination, and to stop it immediately, whenever it arises.
