[ equal opportunity policy statement ]Article 25's equal opportunity policy is that in the recruitment, selection, training, appraisal, development and promotion of staff and volunteers, the only consideration must be that the individual meets, or is likely to meet the requirements of the role applied for and the needs of the projects and work of Article 25 in which they will be involved. The requirements being met, no volunteer or employee will be discriminated against on the basis of their sex, sexual orientation, race, colour, ethnic origin, nationality (within current legislation), disability, marital status, caring or parental responsibilities, age, or beliefs on matters such as religion and politics. We also encourage our staff and volunteers to be additionally mindful of the cultural issues and sensitivities required when working on projects overseas, sometimes with vulnerable groups. This means that staff and volunteers applying to and working with Article 25 should ensure that they are commensurately sensitive to the potentially diverse viewpoints of those they work with through Article 25, who may be beneficiaries or partners, and who may differ in viewpoint – even in with relation to the equal opportunities policies espoused herein. Article 25 is committed to provide a learning, working and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all its members are respected, and which is free from discrimination, prejudice, intimidation and all forms of harassment including bullying. This Policy means that all volunteers and employees of Article 25 have the right to study or work in an environment free from discrimination, prejudice and all forms of harassment or bullying. Article 25 is committed to ensuring that this policy is implemented and monitored at an organisational and individual level. For human resources information contact +44 20 7466 1222, Lisa Dayanandan.
