Striving for Equality and Diversity
At RJP, we aim at all times to provide a person-centred, safe and effective service and working environment. Understanding the importance of equality and diversity is therefore essential to the success of our business. Equality for us means creating a fairer society, where everyone can participate and have the opportunity to fulfil their potential, and where no one is unfairly disadvantaged. Diversity ensures peoples’ differences are valued and that different needs and situations are addressed for each individual working with us or receiving professional advice from us.
RJP is committed to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce and also within our working practices. We pride ourselves on running our business in a way that encourages equality of opportunity and respect for diversity. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination and strive to ensure that no one is discriminated against unlawfully, or victimised or harassed by anyone, in the course of their professional dealings with RJP.. We pride ourselves on treating both our employees and clients with the upmost respect and on an equal footing.
Our approach to recruitment and employment encourages equal opportunities and respect for diversity.
We aim to:
• protect and promote people’s rights to an inclusive and safe working environment;
• create a working environment in which all employees can give their best;
• ensure there is no bullying, harassment or discrimination and that all decisions are based on merit.
Ensuring good equality and diversity practice ensures our services are accessible to all; ensures that everyone is treated with dignity and respect; supports involvement and self-management and supports improved outcomes for all. Equality and diversity are not ‘add-ons’ but an essential part of how we deliver our services and how we work together.
