Our policy
For Roxburgh Milkins, diversity means finding the right people for the job. All job applicants and members of our firm will receive equal treatment regardless of sex, marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, colour, height, nationality or national or ethnic origins, religion or belief. Technical excellence is only one part of Roxburgh Milkins’ corporate personality.
The good relationships we enjoy with one another and with our clients have helped to create a culture where communication, respect and cooperation are a natural part of who we are.
The following are examples of discrimination which are against our policy:
Direct discrimination, where a person is less favourably treated because of sex, marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, colour, height, nationality or national or ethnic origins, religion or belief.
Indirect discrimination, where a requirement or condition which cannot be justified is applied equally to all groups but has a disproportionately adverse effect on one particular group.
Recruitment
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that applications for employment are encouraged without regard to sex, marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, colour, height, nationality or national or ethnic origins, religion or belief and will ensure that there are equal opportunities at all stages of the recruitment process.
Promotion
Promotion is based on merit alone.
Monitoring
This policy is monitored periodically by us to judge its effectiveness. Our Equality and Diversity Champion will be responsible for the operation of the policy.
Disciplinary and grievance procedures
The policy applies to all members and employees of our firm. Acts of discrimination on grounds of sex, marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, colour, height, nationality or national or ethnic origins, religion or belief by any member or employee of the firm, or a failure by any member or employee to comply with the firm’s Equality and Diversity Policy will result in disciplinary action.
When any member or employee of the firm has a grievance as a result of discrimination on grounds of sex, marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, colour, height, nationality or national or ethnic origins, religion or belief, the firm will treat this seriously and take action
All dealings
Roxburgh Milkins will deal with all persons with the same attention, courtesy and consideration regardless of sex, marital status, civil partnership status, sexual orientation, age, disability, race, colour, height, nationality or national or ethnic origins, religion or belief.
