equalopportunitiesanddiversity

West Legal/West Associates is an equal opportunities employer and is an organisation committed to diversity. As such, we aspire to reflect our diversity values in our internal recruitment procedures as well as our work ethics as a recruitment agency. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunities for all and shall adhere to this policy at all times.

In accordance with existing as well as imminent equal opportunities (subordinate) legislation, including but not limited to the Race Relations Act 1976 (as amended), the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (as amended), and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (as amended). West Legal/West Associates treats everyone equally irrespective of sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, disability, race, colour, religion, ethnic or national origin, membership or non-membership of a trade union, working hours or whether on a fixed term or permanent contract. Moreover, West Legal/West Associates reviews, on an on-going basis, all aspects of recruitment to avoid unlawful or undesirable discrimination or harassment on those grounds.

West Legal/West Associates is committed to treating all full-time and part-time workers and job applicants (actual or potential) fairly and selection of employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be based on merits, aptitude and ability. In addition, West Legal/West Associates does not directly or indirectly discriminate when deciding which candidates are submitted for a vacancy or assignment or in any terms of employment or engagement. West Legal/West Associates ensures that each candidate is assessed solely in accordance with the candidate’s merits, qualifications and abilities to perform the relevant duties required by the particular vacancy.

Furthermore, West Legal/West Associates will not accept instructions from clients that indicate that an element of unlawful discrimination or harassment will be brought to fruition unless there are genuine occupational requirements or other legislative exceptions detailed in the instructions. It is our intention to work with organisations that have a similar equal opportunities policy to that of West Legal/West Associates.

As part of our commitment to equal opportunities we may from time to time use information provided by you for the purposes of diversity monitoring. Any such information will be used on an anonymised basis in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Policy.

This policy is not contractual but is a statement of the current West Legal/West Associates policy. West Legal/West Associates reserves the right to amend the policy as necessary to meet any change in requirements.
