Our Equal Opportunities Policy is a testament to our commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all individuals have equal opportunities to thrive and contribute.
Scope: This policy applies to all individuals associated with RCUK, including employees, volunteers, trustees, contractors, and service users. It governs all aspects of employment, from recruitment to termination.

Our commitment to equality of opportunity ensures that decisions regarding recruitment, selection, and promotion are based solely on merit. We prioritize accessibility, making reasonable adjustments to accommodate the needs of individuals with disabilities. Furthermore, we actively promote diversity within our workforce to enrich our work and foster creativity and innovation.
Responsibilities: Senior management leads the implementation and promotion of this policy, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and best practices. Managers and supervisors uphold equality and diversity principles within their teams, addressing any instances of discrimination promptly. All employees and volunteers are expected to familiarize themselves with the policy and treat others with dignity and respect.
Complaints Procedure: RCUK provides a safe environment for raising concerns related to discrimination or unfair treatment. Individuals are encouraged to report their concerns to their line manager, HR department, or senior management. All complaints will be investigated impartially, and appropriate action will be taken.
