Equal Opportunities Policy

Bradford & Bingley plc will take every reasonably practical step to:

• Recognise its legal obligations under the appropriate Employment Acts.
• Recruit, train and promote individuals on the basis of ability, competence, the requirements of the job and similar objective and relevant criteria.
• Ensure that the policy is consistently applied by carefully monitoring its operation for both job applicants and employees.
• Provide facilities for any employee who believes that the company has applied inequitable treatment within the scope of this policy to raise the matter through the appropriate grievance procedure.
• Encourage and assist any disadvantaged groups to achieve a position from which equality of opportunity can operate.
• Review periodically its selection and recruitment procedures to ensure that in accordance with this commitment the company is satisfied that the Policy is being effectively implemented.
• Promote awareness of this Policy within the company by distributing and publicising the policy statement throughout the organisation and elsewhere as appropriate, and by training employees in respect of best practice.

It is a requirement of all employees to accept their personal responsibility for the practical application of this policy. However, the company acknowledges that specific responsibility falls upon management, team leaders and individuals who are professionally involved in recruitment, human resources and training. Any act of discrimination by employees or failure to comply with the terms of the policy will result in disciplinary action.
