Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Policy

At t2 group, we ensure that all our staff and learners treat each other with mutual respect regardless of background. We promote equality of opportunity and we have a zero tolerance policy regarding discrimination of any kind. We make sure that no one is treated unfairly because of a protected characteristic. You can read more about protected characteristics below.

The Equality Act 2010 is the law which bans unfair treatment due to protected characteristics, and helps achieve equal opportunities in the workplace and in wider society.

What's included in the Equality Act?

The act replaced previous anti-discrimination laws with a single act to make the law simpler and to remove inconsistencies. This makes the law easier for people to understand and comply with. The act also strengthened protection in some situations.

The act covers nine protected characteristics, which cannot be used as a reason to treat people unfairly. Every person has one or more of the protected characteristics, so the act protects everyone against unfair treatment. The protected characteristics are:

The Equality Act sets out the different ways in which it is unlawful to treat someone, such as direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, victimisation, and failing to make a reasonable adjustment for a disabled person.

The act prohibits unfair treatment in the workplace, when providing goods, facilities and services, when exercising public functions, in the disposal and management of premises, in education, and by associations (such as private clubs).
