Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statement

We understand the value of different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds that make each person unique. This includes but is not limited to: rability, age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, race, religion and sexual orientation.

Everyone is welcome, respected and valued equally.

We value and respect our clients, staff, contractors and job applicants and see everyone as people first.

The Beauty Guru is dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture amongst the whole work force.

It is within our best interest to promote diversity and eliminate discrimination in the workplace. Our aim is to ensure that all employees and job applicants are given equal opportunity and that our organisation is representative of all sections of society. Each employee will be respected and valued and able to give their best as a result. This policy reinforces our commitment to providing equality and fairness to all in our employment and not provide less favourable facilities or treatment.

We understand the value of different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds that make each person unique. This includes but is not limited to: ability, age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, race, religion and sexual orientation.

We value and respect our clients, staff, contractors and job applicants, and the Beauty Guru is dedicated to encouraging a supportive and inclusive culture amongst the whole workforce.

We are committed to promoting diversity and eliminate discrimination in the workplace, with the aim of ensuring all employees and job applicants are given equal opportunities. We want our workforce to properly represent all sections of society. This policy reinforces our dedication to providing equality and fairness to all in our employment.

All employees, regardless of employment status (e.g. temporary, part-time, contact), will be treated fairly and with respect. When selecting candidates for employment, promotion, training, or any other benefit, it will exclusively be on the basis of their aptitude and ability.

All employees will be given assistance and encouragement in their continuing professional development. In supporting staff to reach their full potential, both we and our employees benefit.

Our commitments:

• To create and nurture an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all team members are recognised, valued, and accommodated for.

• To create and nurture a working environment that promotes dignity and respect for every employee.

• Zero tolerance for any form of intimidation, bullying, or harassment, with the potential for disciplinary action where this policy is breached.

• To ensure training, development, and progression opportunities available to all staff.

• To promote equity in the workplace.

• To encourage anyone who feels they have been subject to discrimination to raise their concerns, so remedial action can be taken where required.

• To ensure employees to treat everyone with dignity and respect.

• To regularly review all our employment practices and procedures so we can make sure they are up-to-date, relevant, and accurately reflect any  legislative or regulatory obligations.

The Beauty Guru will inform all employees that an equity and diversity policy is in operation, with a requirement for staff to document that they have read and understood the policy and agree to its terms. The policy will also be supplied to funding agencies, stakeholders, customers, learners, and job applicants.

Our policy will be monitored and reviewed annually to ensure that it accurately reflects our ethos and commitments, as well as updating any relevant statutory or regulatory obligations.
