Hastoe takes its duty to promote equality and diversity very seriously. We recognise that as a service provider, good equality practices will make our services available to the widest possible range of customers. We also understand our responsibilities as an employer and as a procurer of contracts and services.
Hastoe fully supports the aim of the
Equality and Human Rights Commission to champion equality and human rights for all, working to eliminate discrimination, reduce inequality, protect human rights and to build good relations, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to participate in society.
Hastoe will treat all our customers fairly and according to their needs. We have our own
Equality and Diversity policy which we follow and we have a Valuing
Diversity Strategy and Action Plan. We also have a
Valuing Diversity Leaflet. You can download this in the right hand margin, under 'Relevant Documents'.
The law protects you from being discriminated against because of age, disability, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, race and religion. Please let us know if you feel that we have treated you unfairly or unlawfully.
