ALL organisations must have an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion policy as a mandatory requirement to meet the legal duty. A recently reviewed policy does more than just meet a legal obligation. By considering diversity and inclusion as well as equality, an organisation is more likely to tackle inequalities.
The policy must set out the organisation’s zero tolerance approach to bullying, harassment, discrimination, victimisation, and unacceptable behaviour, and underline the requirement for all staff to contribute to creating a workforce culture and environment that exemplifies dignity, courtesy, respect, and consideration for all.
