(In compliance with the Equality Act, October 2010)
Service Electrical (Bradford) Ltd fully supports the principle of promoting dignity,
equality and diversity in employment – recognising that it is in the best interest of the
company to recruit and develop the best people from as wide and diverse a pool of
talent as possible.

The company is committed to tackling discrimination in all forms, with regards to
employees, customers and clients. Discrimination can be deemed as acting unfairly
against a group or individual through exclusion, verbal comment, denigration,
intimidation, a failure to appreciate needs or the assumption of such needs without
consultation.

No job applicant or employee will receive less favourable treatment as a result of
discrimination owing to any of the following protected characteristics; age (unless
demonstrated as justified), disability (including mental illness), gender reassignment,
race (including colour, nationality and ethnic or national groups), religion or belief,
sex, or sexual orientation.

This includes direct discrimination, associative discrimination, discrimination by
perception, indirect indiscrimination, harassment (including third party harassment)
and victimisation.

Similarly, no job applicant or employee will receive less favourable treatment as a
result of direct discrimination based on pregnancy and maternity, or marriage and
civil partnership.

Every possible step will be taken to remove any barriers, bias, or discrimination that
may prevent individuals or groups from realising their maximum potential (which
includes making reasonable adjustments to overcome any disadvantage resulting
from impairment).

Decisions concerning recruitment, training, access to facilities and benefits, conduct
at work, discipline and grievance procedures, promotion opportunities and pay are
strictly un-discriminatory, and are guaranteed to remain so throughout any
contractual relationship and beyond.

Selection criteria and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that individuals
are treated only on the basis of their relevant abilities and suitability for the job. This
includes not asking health-related questions during the application process unless it
is intrinsic to the job, used to monitor diversity amongst applicants, used to take positive action to assist disabled people or so that reasonable adjustments can be
made for the selection process.

Service Electrical (Bradford) Ltd promotes a culture that respects and values all
differences by creating a fair working environment in which:

• All people are able to give their best
• All employees are given equal opportunity to progress
• All decisions are based entirely on merit and ability

Service Electrical (Bradford) Ltd is committed to making this policy effective by
bringing it to the attention of all stakeholders, to better reflect the community it
serves.

All employees have a legal and moral obligation not to discriminate and to cooperate with Service Electrical (Bradford) Ltd in the event of such behaviour, by
reporting any incidents (or suspected incidents) of discrimination to a member of the
Management Team.

There is an expectation upon all employees to act in accordance with this policy and
adherence will be strictly monitored. Breaches of this policy will be regarded as
misconduct and thus disciplinary action will take place as deemed necessary.
