Equality Act 2010 and Positive Action

Equality Act 2010: employers can take positive action to help disadvantaged or underrepresented groups-such as people over 50, disabled individuals, or ethnic minorities-provided:

• The action is proportionate.
• It aims to overcome disadvantage, meet different needs, or encourage participation.
• It does not amount to positive discrimination, such as automatically selecting someone solely based on a protected characteristic.

Therefore we offer all eligible candidates from all priority groups who successfully complete stages 1 and 2 of the recruitment process a work trail prior to interview. If this is of interest please email .
