Diversity and Equality Policies and Action Programmes

Whether you are planning to put in place a diversity policy for the first time, or are seeking help to refine and focus particular aspects of an existing policy or programme, we can help in areas such as:

• reviewing current practices for possible adverse impact against women or men, particular ethnic groups, disabled people, or on the basis of religion or sexual orientation
   
• establishing realistic steps to reach achievable diversity-related goals within a specified timeframe
   
• devising suitable procedures for regular checking on progress and outputs through effective equality monitoring
   
• deciding whether you need to consider setting numerical targets and how you should go about this
   
• reviewing and progressing your race equality scheme
   
• looking at flexible working arrangements
   
• meeting the requirements of the new regulations on sexual orientation and religion arising from the EC Employment Directive
