Equal Opportunities Policy Statement.
Johnston and Wright will take all reasonable and practicable
steps to ensure the widest possible response from all sections
of the community to employment opportunities within the practice
and that all potential applicants will receive equal encouragement
to apply.
No job will receive less favourable treatment or will be placed
at a disadvantage on grounds which are not job related [race,
sex, disability, etc.].
All employees will be treated fairly and equally with respect
to terms and conditions of service, allocation of work, promotion,
transfer and training opportunities within the practice.
There will be progress toward a fair representation of women,
disabled people and ethnic minorities throughout the workforce.
Appropriate arrangements will be made to regularly review and
evaluate the practice's progress in achieving equal opportunities.
