BOND's Equal Opportunities Statement
BOND is committed to the establishment and development of equality of opportunity in policy and practice.
BOND will apply this policy and practice in all aspects of staff's and volunteers' working life with BOND, from recruitment through to cessation of employment, including personal and career development, terms and conditions.
BOND will apply this policy and practice in all aspects of organisations' relationships with BOND, whether as members or otherwise, including application procedures for membership, access to services, and participation in activities.
BOND will ensure that no individual or group within BOND is discriminated against on grounds of sex, ethnicity, age, colour, nationality, marital status, home responsibility, sexual orientation, disability, HIV status, culture, beliefs, trade union activity or social background. BOND reserves the right to add other categories to this list.
BOND will ensure that no employee, member or applicant is discriminated against through a condition or requirement which cannot be objectively justified. We shall value individuals and organisations for their contribution, and shall give them the opportunity to realise their full potential within BOND insofar as this contributes towards the fulfilment of our mission.
BOND will ensure that all Board members, staff and volunteers abide by the content and spirit of this statement.
BOND is committed to a programme of action to make this policy fully effective and will constantly monitor and review the procedures, practices and guidelines that underpin it.
