Equal Opportunities Monitoring Sheet

The Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO) is committed to equal opportunities in its employment, services and management. We aim to ensure that no course / job applicant receives less favourable treatment on the basis of irrelevant personal characteristics or circumstances.

We endeavour to ensure that our recruitment process is based on objective criteria. A person specification is used both to decide short-listing and by interviewing panels.

The information will be used solely for monitoring purposes and will be separated from application forms before these are read by the interview panel.

In order to monitor our recruitment procedure we ask applicants to fill in this form but it is not compulsory.

The Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation believes that all people have value and recognises that there are many people in society who have been denied equal opportunities or for whom equal opportunities have not been made available.

The Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation further recognises that it is necessary to take positive steps to ensure that all people benefit from equal opportunities whether this is when GMCVO is acting as employer, providing services or working with people as individuals or in groups.

The Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation acknowledges that many people suffer disadvantage within society because of widespread structural inequalities within which discrimination exists particularly based on:- age, class, colour, disability, family responsibilities, gender, marital status, mental health, nationality, parental status, racial origin, religious belief or their sexual orientation.
