Equality & Diversity
VT Training believes that fairness and equality of opportunity are a fundamental human right for all. The Company wholeheartedly supports the principles of equal opportunity and diversity for all its employees and learners on learning programmes.
We value diversity and will:
- Aim to create a workforce with a broad range of characteristics reflecting our diverse
customer base and the communities within which we operate.
- Establish a work environment free from any form of discrimination, harassment, bullying
and victimisation.
- Ensure that all applicants, employees, learners and all third parties are treated
fairly and with equality of opportunity, irrespective of, but not limited to, their
culture, race, colour, nationality, religion or beliefs, ethnic or national origin,
age, gender, sexual orientation, transsexualism, disability, unrelated criminal
convictions, marital or parental status and membership of an affiliated trade union.
- Appoint, train, develop, promote and reward all individuals fairly and objectively
on the basis of their skills, aptitudes and abilities.
- Increase equality and diversity awareness and promotion through ongoing development
for all staff, learners and employers.
- Seek the opinions of our employees, learners and all third parties on the development
and performance of equality and diversity initiatives to ensure they effectively
meet everyone's needs.
- Evaluate the positive benefits of diversity by monitoring the composition of our
workforce and learner group and by measuring the impact of our recruitment and selection
initiatives.
- Comply with UK and European legislation and Codes of Practice.
- Take disciplinary action against any employee who is found to have committed an
act of either unlawful discrimination or contravened VT Training's Equality and
Diversity Policy. Learner or employer who fails to observe this policy will be terminated
from the learning programme.
- Provide VT Training with an active Equality, Diversity and Welfare Group whose aim
is:
To continually develop and embed the VT Training Equality and Diversity strategy by providing a forum or representation that can analyse, discuss and act on any equality and diversity issues related to employees, learners, employers, and other third parties.
