Diversity and Inclusivity

What does equality and diversity mean at Great Glens?

  • We consider that equality means breaking down barriers, eliminating discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals.

  • We consider diversity to mean celebrating difference and valuing everyone. Each person is an individual with visible and non-visible differences and by respecting this everyone can feel valued for their contributions.

  • We acknowledge that equality and diversity are not inter-changeable but inter-dependent. There can be no equality of opportunity if difference is not valued and harnessed.

Everyone at Great glens is entitled to an environment that promotes dignity, equality, and respect for all. We do not tolerate any unlawful or unfair discrimination committed against anyone at Great Glens because of a protected characteristic.

  • Disability

  • Sex

  • Race (including ethnic origin, colour, nationality or national origin)

  • Gender reassignment

  • Marriage or civil partnership

  • Pregnancy or maternity

  • Sexual orientation

  • Religion or belief

  • Age
