Equal Opportunities Policy |
|
Lonlas youth Club is committed to a policy of
equal treatment of all members and requires all members of whatever
level or authority, to abide and adhere to this general principle
and the requirements of the Codes of Practice issued by the
Equal Opportunities Commission and Commission for Racial Equality.
|
|
All members are expected to abide by the requirements for
the Race Relations Act 1976, Sex Discrimination Act 1986 and
Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Specifically discrimination
is prohibited by:
|
|
Treating any individual on grounds of gender, colour, marital
status, race, nationality or ethnic of national origin, religion,
sexual orientation or disability less favourably than others.
|
|
Expecting an individual solely on the grounds stated above
to comply with requirement(s) for any reason whatsoever related
to their membership, which are difference from the requirements
for others.
|
|
Imposing on an individual requirements which are in effect
more onerous on that individual than they are on others. For
example, this would include applying a condition which makes
it more difficult for members of a particular race or sex to
comply than others not of that race or sex.
|
|
Victimisation of an individual.
|
|
Harassment of an individual, by virtue of discrimination.
|
|
Any other act of omission of an act, which has as the effect
of disadvantaging one member against another, or others, purely
on the above grounds. Thus, in all the Club’s recruitment,
selection, promotion and training processes, as well as disciplinary
matters, it is essential that merit, experience, skills and
temperament are considered as objectively as possible.
|
|
Lonlas youth Club commits itself to the immediate investigation
of any claims of discrimination on the above grounds and where
such is found to be the case, a requirement that the practice
cease forthwith, restitution of damage or loss (if necessary)
and to the investigation of any member accused of discrimination.
|
|
Any member found guilty of discrimination will be instructed
to cease forthwith. Since discrimination in its many forms is
against the Football Club’s policy, any members offending
will be dealt with under the disciplinary procedure.
|
|
The Football Club commits itself to the disabled person whenever
possible and will treat such members, in aspects of their recruitment
and membership, in exactly the same manner as other members.
The difficulties of their disablement permitting, assistance
will be given, wherever possible to ensure that disabled members
are helped in gaining access. Appropriate training will be made
to such who request it.
