Introduction

​

Sellwood Training is an equal opportunity business, taking into account the diversity within our workforce, customers and learners.

​

We believe that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of their religion, beliefs, age, gender, disability or sexual orientation.

​

​

Commitment to Equality and Diversity

​

The Equality and Diversity Policy requires commitment from everyone within the Centre. Ann Sellwood, Centre Co-ordinator, is responsible for the implementation and effective operation of this policy and copies can be obtained from her upon request.

​

This policy and the legislation it represents will be taken into account during the design and development of all our manuals and literature.

​

​
