Equal Opportunities at New Directions
New Directions is committed to making equality part of everything we do. New Directions embraces the Equality Act (April 2010) requirement to have 'due regard' to the need to:
• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation
• Advance equality of opportunity between different groups
• Foster good relations between different groups
The duty to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination also covers marriage and civil partnership.
New Directions does not discriminate on the grounds of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and sexual orientation.
New Directions is committed to providing accessible services to the whole community, which do not discriminate in any of the ways mentioned above.
We ask and encourage our customers to declare any disability, learning difficulty or issue that may impact on their learning or experience at New Directions so that we can provide appropriate support on an individual basis.
