Preventing Discrimination

Direct discrimination occurs when an individual is treated unfairly due to a protected characteristic. Indirect discrimination happens when a policy or practice puts certain groups at a disadvantage without objective justification. At Ready Job UK, we actively challenge and eliminate both forms of discrimination. We do not accept discriminatory job requirements from clients unless legally justified under occupational requirements.

1. Harassment, Bullying, and Victimisation

   Harassment is unwanted conduct that creates a hostile or intimidating environment. Examples include:

   • Derogatory jokes or comments
   • Unwanted advances or inappropriate behavior
   • Discriminatory language or actions

   Victimisation occurs when someone is treated unfairly for raising a concern about discrimination. Ready Job UK has a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of harassment and victimisation.

2. Supporting Disabled Individuals

   We make reasonable adjustments to accommodate disabled employees and candidates, including:

   • Alternative interview formats or locations
   • Flexible work arrangements
   • Workplace modifications and assistive technology

   We ensure that disability is not a barrier to employment, career progression, or fair treatment.

We recruit and retain individuals based on their capabilities, not their age. We encourage applications from all age groups and do not impose age-related criteria unless there is a legal requirement.

Ready Job UK also supports individuals undergoing gender reassignment, ensuring they are treated with respect and dignity. We provide appropriate workplace adjustments and privacy protections.

Where a role requires a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, we follow the DBS Code of Practice to ensure ex-offenders are not unfairly disadvantaged in employment. All hiring decisions are made fairly, considering the nature of the role, the relevance of any

We regularly monitor workforce diversity data, conduct internal audits, and engage with employees to ensure our policies remain effective and aligned with best practices.
