Disability Discrimination
TVW Equality & Diversity Statement
TVW are committed to ensuring that no learner is given less favourable treatment because of their racial or ethnic background, gender, religion or belief, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation unless the practice can be justified legitimately.
All TVW projects will adopt the key aspects of HBC’s Equal Opportunities/Diversity Policies and all subcontractors who deliver any services on behalf of TVW will ensure that they have clearly defined statements which reflect the following legislation:
- The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA);
- Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Act 2001 (SENDA);
- The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 (RRA);
- The Equal Pay Act 1970 (EPA);
- The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (SDA);
- Employment Equality (Religion and Belief) Regulations 2003;
- Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2003;
- Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006;
- The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
TVW will ensure that all subcontractors regularly review their Equality Opportunities/Diversity Policies so that they can be updated on new legislation being introduced or best practice being identified.
TVW will also monitor all subcontractors to ensure that they have procedures in place which can deal with any complaints of discrimination, bullying or harassment from members of staff or learners.
All subcontractors Equality Opportunities/Diversity Policies will be published and communicated to all learners during induction so that they are fully aware of the Complaints/Grievance procedure.
