Equal Opportunities

The Equality Act 2010 legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society.

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:

• Age
• Being or becoming a transsexual person
• Being married or in a civil partnership
• Being pregnant or on maternity leave
• Have a disability
• Race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
• Religion, belief or lack of religion/belief
• Gender
• Sexual orientation

Oakhaven is an Equal Opportunities employer and our services are provided fairly and non-discriminatory.

Dignity at work

We have procedures and policies in place that make staff aware of the issues surrounding many forms of discrimination including bullying, harassment, whistle-blowing, tackling violence, racial and other forms of discrimination.

Cultural Awareness Training

The hospice has ongoing training on equality issues and a committee to challenge ourselves to ensure our policies and procedures are fair and non-discriminatory
