A Brief Guide To

Equal Opportunities

3VA is working towards Equal Opportunities.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN EMPLOYMENT POLICY

3VA wishes its services to be equally available to all and recognises, that to achieve this, it should endeavour to ensure that the make up of its workforce and Committee more accurately reflects the membership it serves.

Our policy is that no employee, job applicant, volunteer or visitor receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of their sex, race, colour, ethnic or national origins, marital status, responsibility for dependants, disability, age, sexual orientation, trade union membership, political activity or religious belief. It requires that all our personnel procedures and, particularly, our selection criteria are kept under review to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and valued solely on the basis of their attributes and abilities.

Our ethos is to encourage a fair and socially inclusive society. This monitoring form is a tool in that process.

To enable us better to understand the response to our recruitment advertisements, please complete the form overleaf.

The answers you give will be used to monitor our activities for Equal Opportunity purposes. They will help us to be fair to all. This form will be separated from your application before those who make the selection decision receive it. The answers you give on this form will not affect our consideration of your application in any way. The reason we ask your name is to enable us to monitor who gets shortlisted and selected for posts. It may also save the appointee from having to supply details again when starting work with us!
