Philosophy
Shepherd Stubbs is committed to the belief that a policy of Equal Opportunities allows a business to tap previously untapped expertise. It believes that use of broader and more diverse cultural bases make skills more accessible to industry.

Equal Opportunities Intent
Fair treatment irrespective of: colour, race, gender, ethnic origin, marital status, nationality, creed, disability, age, religion, sexual orientation, religious or political belief, gender reassignment, trade union activity, criminal convictions, absence from the labour market, responsibility for dependents or any other reason unrelated to job performance/predicted job performance is part of the ethical and professional approach to business of Shepherd Stubbs.  This policy of fair treatment applies equally to the Company’s own people and those which it recruits/supplies on behalf of, or to, Client Companies.

Equal Opportunities Partnership
The Company believes that one of its most significant contributions can be made by working with its Client Companies to further their Equal Opportunities Policies.  Our approach in this area is to provide where required an expert range of services to assist companies in their Equal Opportunities objectives.  Shepherd Stubbs has the systems, resources and knowledge in place to provide monitoring, analysis and positive action (e.g. targeted advertising), should Clients wish to use these services.  

Disability Access
Shepherd Stubbs extends access to all groups of disabilities by providing alternative registration procedures and has facilities for the hard of hearing and partially sighted to ensure that the disabled continue to have free access to our service.

The Company does not undertake business with Client Companies who have a negative attitude or an unethical approach to Equal Opportunities.
